What this shows Novozymes's Innovation Score is 47.6/100 (top 18% 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 Novozymes?

Each dot is one of Novozymes’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). Novozymes’s own 20.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.1 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Novozymes's grants concentrate

Novozymes Bioag A/S is a focused PatentsView assignee: 17 CPC subclasses with 91.7% of grants classified under A01N (Preservation OF Bodies OF Humans OR Animals OR Plants OR Parts Thereof ; Biocides, e.g. AS Disinfectants, AS Pesticides OR AS Herbicides ; Pest Repellants OR ATTRACTANTS; Plant Growth Regulators). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (7 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2018. By volume, Novozymes sits between Naver Labs Corporation and Neuroderm, Ltd..

Novozymes's three-year grant acceleration

Novozymes Bioag A/S shows 14 grants in 2022–2024 against only 13 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.
