How Changzhou's grant cadence moved

Between 2020–2024, Changzhou University received 61 grants versus 9 in 2015–2019 (+578% equal-window velocity, top decile growth). Across complete PatentsView years, output peaked in 2024 at 25 grants and bottomed in 2015 at 2. Lead class B01J accounts for 15.3% of the portfolio across 84 subclasses. Volume neighbours: Beijing Jingdong Qianshi Technology Co., Ltd. (#4,182) and CorMatrix Cardiovascular, Inc. (#4,190).

Changzhou's three-year grant acceleration

Changzhou University shows 56 grants in 2022–2024 against only 7 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.
