How Institute’s 40.3 Innovation Score adds up
The same four weighted components behind every Innovation Score on PlainPatent: portfolio volume, grant velocity, technology breadth, and claim depth.

What this shows Institute's Innovation Score is 40.3/100 (top 36% 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 Institute?
Each dot is one of Institute’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). Institute’s own 12.9 claims/patent is at or below the 13.6 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.
Where Institute's grants concentrate
Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology, Chinese Academy of Sciences is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 95.8% of grants classified under C12N (Microorganisms OR ENZYMES; Compositions THEREOF; Propagating, Preserving, OR Maintaining MICROORGANISMS; Mutation OR Genetic ENGINEERING; Culture Media). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Institute sits between Iwatani Corporation and Jasco Corporation.
Institute's three-year grant acceleration
Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology, Chinese Academy of Sciences shows 12 grants in 2022–2024 against only 7 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.
