What this shows Trace's Innovation Score is 44.9/100 (top 24% 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 Trace?

Each dot is one of Trace’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). Trace’s own 15.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 12.9 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Trace's grants concentrate

Trace Genomics, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 10 CPC subclasses with 75% of grants classified under G16B (Bioinformatics, i.e. Information AND Communication Technology [ICT] Specially Adapted FOR Genetic OR Protein-related Data Processing IN Computational Molecular Biology). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Trace sits between Topharman Shanghai Co., Ltd. and Trioptotec GMBH.

Trace's three-year grant acceleration

Trace Genomics, Inc. shows 5 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.
