What this shows Vilmorin's Innovation Score is 44.1/100 (top 26% 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 Vilmorin?

Each dot is one of Vilmorin’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). Vilmorin’s own 14.9 claims/patent is at or below the 15.5 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Vilmorin's grants concentrate

Vilmorin & CIE is a focused PatentsView assignee: 12 CPC subclasses with 77.8% of grants classified under A01H (NEW Plants OR ; NON-TRANSGENIC; Processes FOR Obtaining THEM; Plant Reproduction BY Tissue Culture Techniques). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Vilmorin sits between Ultra-Mek, Inc. and Verizon Telematics Inc..

Vilmorin's three-year grant acceleration

Vilmorin & CIE shows 12 grants in 2022–2024 against only 7 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.
