What this shows Yield10's Innovation Score is 30.9/100 (36th 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 Yield10?

Each dot is one of Yield10’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). Yield10’s own 13.0 claims/patent is ABOVE the 9.6 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Yield10's grants concentrate

Yield10 Bioscience, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under C12N (Microorganisms OR ENZYMES; Compositions THEREOF; Propagating, Preserving, OR Maintaining MICROORGANISMS; Mutation OR Genetic ENGINEERING; Culture Media). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Yield10 sits between Yuyao Feite Plastic Co., Ltd. and Yong San Co., Ltd..

Yield10's three-year grant acceleration

Yield10 Bioscience, Inc. shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
