What this shows Indian's Innovation Score is 57.4/100 (top 5% 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 Indian?

Each dot is one of Indian’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). Indian’s own 15.0 claims/patent is ABOVE the 12.3 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

How Indian's grant cadence moved

Between 2020–2024, Indian Institute OF Science received 29 grants versus 30 in 2015–2019 (-3% equal-window velocity, above median growth). Across complete PatentsView years, output peaked in 2015 at 11 grants and bottomed in 2016 at 3. Lead class G01N accounts for 23.5% of the portfolio across 75 subclasses. Volume neighbours: Hohai University (#5,075) and Intellihot, Inc. (#5,083).

Indian's three-year grant acceleration

Indian Institute OF Science shows 21 grants in 2022–2024 against only 16 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.
