What this shows Locus's Innovation Score is 62.7/100 (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 Locus?

Each dot is one of Locus’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). Locus’s own 10.0 claims/patent is at or below the 13.7 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Locus's grants concentrate

Locus Solutions Ipco, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 44 CPC subclasses with 42.2% of grants classified under C12N (Microorganisms OR ENZYMES; Compositions THEREOF; Propagating, Preserving, OR Maintaining MICROORGANISMS; Mutation OR Genetic ENGINEERING; Culture Media). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (18 grants) versus a trough of 17 in 2024. By volume, Locus sits between Kemin Industries, Inc. and Medimop Medical Projects Ltd..

Locus's three-year grant acceleration

Locus Solutions Ipco, LLC shows 35 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.
