What this shows Bangor's Innovation Score is 32.8/100 (42nd 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 Bangor?

Each dot is one of Bangor’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). Bangor’s own 13.9 claims/patent is at or below the 19.4 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Bangor's grants concentrate

Bangor University is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 42.9% of grants classified under G01N (Investigating OR Analysing Materials BY Determining Their Chemical OR Physical Properties). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, Bangor sits between Bally Technologies ANZ PTY Ltd and Bean Logik LLC.

Bangor's three-year grant acceleration

Bangor University shows 1 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.
