What this shows Seed's Innovation Score is 27.1/100 (23rd 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 Seed?

Each dot is one of Seed’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). Seed’s own 11.1 claims/patent is at or below the 15.7 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Seed's grants concentrate

Seed Research Institute Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 10 CPC subclasses with 88.9% of grants classified under C07D (Heterocyclic Compounds). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2023. By volume, Seed sits between SD Biosensor, Inc. and Selfie Snapper, Inc..

Seed's three-year grant acceleration

Seed Research Institute Co., Ltd. shows 1 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.
