What this shows Zymeworks's Innovation Score is 56.1/100 (top 6% 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 Zymeworks?

Each dot is one of Zymeworks’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). Zymeworks’s own 23.7 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.1 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Zymeworks's grants concentrate

Zymeworks BC Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 12 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under C07K (Peptides). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (6 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2023. By volume, Zymeworks sits between Zhejiang JM Industry Co., Ltd. and iZotope, Inc..

Zymeworks's three-year grant acceleration

Zymeworks BC Inc. shows 8 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
