What this shows Protalix's Innovation Score is 35.8/100 (top 48% 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 Protalix?

Each dot is one of Protalix’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). Protalix’s own 20.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 18.9 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Protalix's grants concentrate

Protalix Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 94.1% 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 2017 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, Protalix sits between Polaris Capital Corporation and Pthera LLC.

Protalix's three-year grant acceleration

Protalix Ltd. shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
