What this shows Joslin's Innovation Score is 37.0/100 (top 45% 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 Joslin?

Each dot is one of Joslin’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). Joslin’s own 8.6 claims/patent is at or below the 15.5 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Joslin's grants concentrate

Joslin Diabetes Center is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 81.8% of grants classified under A61K (Preparations FOR Medical, Dental OR Toiletry Purposes). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Joslin sits between Jewelex New York, Ltd. and Kromek Limited.

Joslin's three-year grant acceleration

Joslin Diabetes Center shows 7 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.
