What this shows Plant's Innovation Score is 36.1/100 (top 47% 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 17.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.6 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Plant's grants concentrate

Plant Sensory Systems, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 10 CPC subclasses with 100% 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 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, Plant sits between Pimco 2664 Limited and Pleut Pieds LLC.

Plant's three-year grant acceleration

Plant Sensory Systems, LLC shows 2 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.
