What this shows Curevac's Innovation Score is 61.1/100 (top 3% of the PatentsView-derived corpus). The chart places that score against the nearest Innovation Score peers plus corpus poles, not a reprint of the volume ranking.

Where Curevac's grants concentrate

CureVac SE is a focused PatentsView assignee: 12 CPC subclasses with 87.3% of grants classified under A61K (Preparations FOR Medical, Dental OR Toiletry Purposes). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (20 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2022. By volume, Curevac sits between China Agricultural University and Dyax Corp..

Curevac's three-year grant acceleration

CureVac SE shows 39 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 in 2019–2021. That prior window is too thin for a growth multiple (rename and spin-out assignees look artificially high when the baseline is near zero), so PlainPatent withholds a ranked acceleration claim here.
