What this shows Plant's Innovation Score is 26.8/100 (22nd 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 Plant?

Each dot is one of Plant’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). Plant’s own 1.0 claims/patent is at or below the 13.9 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Plant's grants concentrate

Plant Sciences, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 2.9% of grants classified under A01C (PLANTING; SOWING; Fertilising). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Plant sits between Parfums Christian Dior and Rivada Networks, LLC.

Plant's three-year grant acceleration

Plant Sciences, Inc. shows 9 grants in 2022–2024 against only 10 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.
