What this shows Kymab's Innovation Score is 50.0/100 (top 14% 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 Kymab?

Each dot is one of Kymab’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). Kymab’s own 20.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.7 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Kymab's grants concentrate

Kymab Limited is a focused PatentsView assignee: 13 CPC subclasses with 97.1% of grants classified under C07K (Peptides). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (23 grants) versus a trough of 3 in 2021. By volume, Kymab sits between H.C. Starck Inc. and Peking University Founder Group Co., Ltd..

Kymab's three-year grant acceleration

Kymab Limited shows 25 grants in 2022–2024 against only 19 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.
