What this shows Kraton's Innovation Score is 62.5/100 (top 2% 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 Kraton?

Each dot is one of Kraton’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). Kraton’s own 19.0 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.8 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Kraton's grants concentrate

Kraton Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 31 CPC subclasses with 69.2% of grants classified under C08L (Compositions OF Macromolecular Compounds). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (16 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Kraton sits between Kuang-chi Institute OF Advanced Technology and Lemken GmbH & Co. KG.

Kraton's three-year grant acceleration

Kraton Corporation shows 23 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
