What this shows Research's Innovation Score is 50.7/100 (top 13% 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 8.4 claims/patent is at or below the 13.8 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Research's grants concentrate

Research Institute of Highway Ministry of Transport is a focused PatentsView assignee: 20 CPC subclasses with 37.5% of grants classified under E01C (Construction OF, OR Surfaces FOR, Roads, Sports Grounds, OR THE LIKE; Machines OR Auxiliary Tools FOR Construction OR Repair). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Research sits between Reelwell AS and Robinhood Markets, Inc..

Research's three-year grant acceleration

Research Institute of Highway Ministry of Transport shows 9 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
