What this shows Foundry's Innovation Score is 36.1/100 (top 47% 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 Foundry?
Each dot is one of Foundry’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). Foundry’s own 15.5 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.3 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.
Where Foundry's grants concentrate
Foundry Innovation & Research 1, Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 80% of grants classified under A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; Identification). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (3 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2020. By volume, Foundry sits between Fornia Biosolutions, Inc. and Fuzhou HanGeYi Business Management Co., Ltd..
Foundry's three-year grant acceleration
Foundry Innovation & Research 1, Ltd. shows 7 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.
