What this shows Research's Innovation Score is 36.5/100 (top 46% 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 Research?

Each dot is one of Research’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). Research’s own 16.0 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.4 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Research's grants concentrate

Research Corporation Technologies, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 72.2% 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 2015 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, Research sits between Ruizhang Technology Limited Company and Ripcord Inc..

Research's three-year grant acceleration

Research Corporation Technologies, Inc. shows 3 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.
