What this shows Soprema's Innovation Score is 36.2/100 (top 47% 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 Soprema?

Each dot is one of Soprema’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). Soprema’s own 16.1 claims/patent is ABOVE the 13.1 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Soprema's grants concentrate

Soprema is a focused PatentsView assignee: 22 CPC subclasses with 60% of grants classified under C08L (Compositions OF Macromolecular Compounds). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2023. By volume, Soprema sits between Sonaca S.A. and Spex SamplePrep, LLC.

Soprema's three-year grant acceleration

Soprema shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
