What this shows Exact's Innovation Score is 57.0/100 (top 6% 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.

Does more volume mean deeper claims for Exact?

Each dot is one of Exact’s 8 nearest volume peers (same corpus rank neighbourhood as the chart above), placed by total granted patents (horizontal) against average claims per patent (vertical). Exact’s own 14.2 claims/patent is at or below the 16.5 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Exact's grants concentrate

Exact Sciences Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 15 CPC subclasses with 77.8% of grants classified under C12Q (Measuring OR Testing Processes Involving Enzymes, Nucleic Acids OR Microorganisms ; Compositions OR Test Papers THEREFOR; Processes OF Preparing Such COMPOSITIONS; Condition-responsive Control IN Micr). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (14 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2018. By volume, Exact sits between DP Technologies, Inc. and General Cable Technologies Corporation.

Exact's three-year grant acceleration

Exact Sciences Corporation shows 32 grants in 2022–2024 against only 8 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.
