What this shows National's Innovation Score is 34.6/100 (48th percentile 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 National?
Each dot is one of National’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). National’s own 17.6 claims/patent is ABOVE the 10.6 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.
Where National's grants concentrate
National Institute of Biological Sciences, Beijing is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 90% of grants classified under A61P (Specific Therapeutic Activity OF Chemical Compounds OR Medicinal Preparations). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, National sits between NTT Research, Inc. and Nautilus True, LLC.
National's three-year grant acceleration
National Institute of Biological Sciences, Beijing shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 9 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.
