What this shows Organovo's Innovation Score is 52.5/100 (top 10% 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 Organovo?

Each dot is one of Organovo’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). Organovo’s own 18.1 claims/patent is ABOVE the 16.6 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Organovo's grants concentrate

Organovo, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 18 CPC subclasses with 93.5% 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 2016 (5 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2019. By volume, Organovo sits between Novus International, Inc. and PMC Industries, Inc..

Organovo's three-year grant acceleration

Organovo, Inc. shows 11 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
