What this shows Institut's Innovation Score is 62.6/100 (top 2% 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 16.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.4 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

How Institut's grant cadence moved

Between 2020–2024, Institut National DE LA Recherche Scientifique received 44 grants versus 25 in 2015–2019 (+76% equal-window velocity, above median growth). Across complete PatentsView years, output peaked in 2022 at 16 grants and bottomed in 2018 at 3. Lead class G01N accounts for 23.2% of the portfolio across 70 subclasses. Volume neighbours: H.J. Heinz Company Brands LLC (#4,334) and Lund Motion Products, Inc. (#4,342).

Institut's three-year grant acceleration

Institut National DE LA Recherche Scientifique shows 33 grants in 2022–2024 against only 18 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.
