What this shows Kenvue's Innovation Score is 36.6/100 (top 46% 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 Kenvue?

Each dot is one of Kenvue’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). Kenvue’s own 6.9 claims/patent is at or below the 11.0 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Kenvue's grants concentrate

Kenvue Brands LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 17 CPC subclasses with 24% of grants classified under A61K (Preparations FOR Medical, Dental OR Toiletry Purposes). By volume, Kenvue sits between Kumho Tire Co., Inc. and Konda Technologies Inc..

Kenvue's three-year grant acceleration

Kenvue Brands LLC shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
