What this shows Associated's Innovation Score is 38.3/100 (top 41% 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 Associated?

Each dot is one of Associated’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). Associated’s own 19.6 claims/patent is ABOVE the 17.7 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Associated's grants concentrate

Associated Universities, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 17 CPC subclasses with 31.8% of grants classified under H03H (Impedance Networks, e.g. Resonant CIRCUITS; Resonators). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (8 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Associated sits between Anthrogenesis Corporation and AudioEye, Inc..

Associated's three-year grant acceleration

Associated Universities, Inc. shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 12 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.
