What this shows Institut's Innovation Score is 41.9/100 (top 32% 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 Institut?

Each dot is one of Institut’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). Institut’s own 17.1 claims/patent is ABOVE the 11.9 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Institut's grants concentrate

Institut FRANÇAIS DES Sciences ET Technologies DES Transports DE L'amenagement ET DES Reseaux (IFSTTAR) is a focused PatentsView assignee: 30 CPC subclasses with 33.3% of grants classified under G01N (Investigating OR Analysing Materials BY Determining Their Chemical OR Physical Properties). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, Institut sits between INDÚSTRIAS Reunidas Colombo Ltda. and Intermune, Inc..

Institut's three-year grant acceleration

Institut FRANÇAIS DES Sciences ET Technologies DES Transports DE L'amenagement ET DES Reseaux (IFSTTAR) shows 2 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.
