What this shows Anhui's Innovation Score is 54.6/100 (top 8% 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 Anhui?

Each dot is one of Anhui’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). Anhui’s own 5.8 claims/patent is at or below the 17.7 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Anhui's grants concentrate

Anhui Agricultural University is a focused PatentsView assignee: 33 CPC subclasses with 22.7% 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 2024 (10 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, Anhui sits between Airship Group, Inc. and Armorworks Holdings, Inc..

Anhui's three-year grant acceleration

Anhui Agricultural University shows 16 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
