What this shows Stokes's Innovation Score is 34.2/100 (47th 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 Stokes?

Each dot is one of Stokes’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). Stokes’s own 16.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 10.3 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Stokes's grants concentrate

Stokes BIO Limited is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under B01L (Chemical OR Physical Laboratory Apparatus FOR General USE). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Stokes sits between SSI Technologies, LLC and Sancal Diseño, S.L..

Stokes's three-year grant acceleration

Stokes BIO Limited shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 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.
