What this shows China's Innovation Score is 46.8/100 (top 20% 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 China?

Each dot is one of China’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). China’s own 9.7 claims/patent is at or below the 12.8 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where China's grants concentrate

China University OF Geosciences (BEIJING) is a focused PatentsView assignee: 39 CPC subclasses with 42.1% of grants classified under C09K (Materials FOR Miscellaneous Applications, NOT Provided FOR Elsewhere). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (9 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, China sits between Bioptigen, Inc. and Caliper Life Sciences, Inc..

China's three-year grant acceleration

China University OF Geosciences (BEIJING) shows 14 grants in 2022–2024 against only 15 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.
