What this shows Fermentalg's Innovation Score is 40.6/100 (top 35% 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 Fermentalg?

Each dot is one of Fermentalg’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). Fermentalg’s own 12.8 claims/patent is at or below the 14.1 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Fermentalg's grants concentrate

Fermentalg is a focused PatentsView assignee: 17 CPC subclasses with 94.7% of grants classified under C12N (Microorganisms OR ENZYMES; Compositions THEREOF; Propagating, Preserving, OR Maintaining MICROORGANISMS; Mutation OR Genetic ENGINEERING; Culture Media). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Fermentalg sits between Exosome Diagnostics, Inc. and Forage Innovations BV.

Fermentalg's three-year grant acceleration

Fermentalg shows 6 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
