What this shows Institute's Innovation Score is 39.2/100 (top 39% 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 12.2 claims/patent is at or below the 17.8 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 Metal Research Chinese Academy OF Sciences is a focused PatentsView assignee: 23 CPC subclasses with 50% of grants classified under C22C (Alloys). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Institute sits between Inspirato, LLC and Intelsat US LLC.

Institute's three-year grant acceleration

Institute OF Metal Research Chinese Academy OF Sciences shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
