What this shows Seattle's Innovation Score is 34.0/100 (46th percentile 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 Seattle?
Each dot is one of Seattle’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). Seattle’s own 30.7 claims/patent is ABOVE the 11.1 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.
Where Seattle's grants concentrate
Seattle Children's Research Institute is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 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 2021 (3 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2020. By volume, Seattle sits between Scopio Labs Ltd. and Segetis, Inc..
Seattle's three-year grant acceleration
Seattle Children's Research Institute shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
