What this shows GSK's Innovation Score is 26.5/100 (20th percentile 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 GSK?

Each dot is one of GSK’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). GSK’s own 8.8 claims/patent is at or below the 16.0 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where GSK's grants concentrate

GSK Consumer Healthcare Sarl is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 27.3% of grants classified under A61K (Preparations FOR Medical, Dental OR Toiletry Purposes). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (4 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2020. By volume, GSK sits between GRI BIO, Inc. and Guangzhou Construction Engineering Co., Ltd..

GSK's three-year grant acceleration

GSK Consumer Healthcare Sarl shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 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.
