What this shows Lygos's Innovation Score is 46.3/100 (top 21% 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 Lygos?

Each dot is one of Lygos’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). Lygos’s own 13.9 claims/patent is at or below the 15.4 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Lygos's grants concentrate

Lygos, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under C12P (Fermentation OR Enzyme-using Processes TO Synthesise A Desired Chemical Compound OR Composition OR TO Separate Optical Isomers From A Racemic Mixture). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Lygos sits between Lofelt GmbH and Magisto Ltd..

Lygos's three-year grant acceleration

Lygos, Inc. shows 7 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.
