What this shows Spruce's Innovation Score is 48.1/100 (top 17% 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 Spruce?

Each dot is one of Spruce’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). Spruce’s own 20.7 claims/patent is ABOVE the 16.4 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Spruce's grants concentrate

Spruce Biosciences, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 81.8% of grants classified under A61P (Specific Therapeutic Activity OF Chemical Compounds OR Medicinal Preparations). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, Spruce sits between Speclipse, Inc. and Stcube & Co., Inc..

Spruce's three-year grant acceleration

Spruce Biosciences, Inc. shows 9 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
