What this shows SNF's Innovation Score is 57.1/100 (top 5% 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 SNF?

Each dot is one of SNF’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). SNF’s own 17.0 claims/patent is ABOVE the 13.3 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where SNF's grants concentrate

SNF Group is a focused PatentsView assignee: 20 CPC subclasses with 75% of grants classified under C08F (Macromolecular Compounds Obtained BY Reactions Only Involving Carbon-to-carbon Unsaturated Bonds). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (8 grants) versus a trough of 7 in 2024. By volume, SNF sits between Shmuel UR Innovation Ltd. and Specialty Operations France.

SNF's three-year grant acceleration

SNF Group shows 15 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.
