What this shows Yara's Innovation Score is 29.6/100 (31st 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 Yara?

Each dot is one of Yara’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). Yara’s own 16.1 claims/patent is ABOVE the 7.4 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Yara's grants concentrate

Yara Marine Technologies AS is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 57.1% of grants classified under F01N (Gas-flow Silencers OR Exhaust Apparatus FOR Machines OR Engines IN GENERAL; Gas-flow Silencers OR Exhaust Apparatus FOR Internal-combustion Engines). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Yara sits between Xuzhou Xcmg Excavator Machinery Co., Ltd. and Yong TAI ELECTRONIC(DONGGUAN) Ltd..

Yara's three-year grant acceleration

Yara Marine Technologies AS shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
