What this shows School's Innovation Score is 39.5/100 (top 38% 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 School?

Each dot is one of School’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). School’s own 10.1 claims/patent is at or below the 13.6 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where School's grants concentrate

School Juridical Person THE Kitasato Institute is a focused PatentsView assignee: 23 CPC subclasses with 56.3% of grants classified under A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; Identification). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, School sits between Saraya Co., Ltd. and Seca AG.

School's three-year grant acceleration

School Juridical Person THE Kitasato Institute shows 6 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 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.
