What this shows Jozef's Innovation Score is 42.0/100 (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 Jozef?

Each dot is one of Jozef’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). Jozef’s own 12.9 claims/patent is at or below the 14.8 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Jozef's grants concentrate

Jozef Stefan Institute is a focused PatentsView assignee: 19 CPC subclasses with 33.3% of grants classified under G01T (Measurement OF Nuclear OR X-radiation). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Jozef sits between Job Corporation and KAO Corporation S.A..

Jozef's three-year grant acceleration

Jozef Stefan Institute shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
