What this shows Kindred's Innovation Score is 41.9/100 (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 Kindred?

Each dot is one of Kindred’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). Kindred’s own 23.1 claims/patent is ABOVE the 11.8 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Kindred's grants concentrate

Kindred Biosciences, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under A61P (Specific Therapeutic Activity OF Chemical Compounds OR Medicinal Preparations). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, Kindred sits between Key-Link Fencing & Railing, Inc. and Kongsberg Driveline Systems I, Inc..

Kindred's three-year grant acceleration

Kindred Biosciences, Inc. shows 4 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.
