What this shows City's Innovation Score is 48.8/100 (top 16% 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 City?

Each dot is one of City’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). City’s own 14.7 claims/patent is at or below the 14.7 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where City's grants concentrate

City, Universsity of London is a focused PatentsView assignee: 13 CPC subclasses with 57.1% of grants classified under Y02E (Reduction OF Greenhouse GAS [GHG] Emissions, Related TO Energy Generation, Transmission OR Distribution). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, City sits between Cigarette Racing Team, LLC. and Clean Air-Engineering—Maritime, Inc..

City's three-year grant acceleration

City, Universsity of London shows 5 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.
