What this shows Synta's Innovation Score is 34.7/100 (48th 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 Synta?

Each dot is one of Synta’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). Synta’s own 12.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 11.2 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Synta's grants concentrate

Synta Pharmaceuticals Corp. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under A61P (Specific Therapeutic Activity OF Chemical Compounds OR Medicinal Preparations). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (22 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Synta sits between Starmark Pet Products, Inc. and Tech 21 Licensing Limited.

Synta's three-year grant acceleration

Synta Pharmaceuticals Corp. shows 1 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.
