What this shows Dalian's Innovation Score is 47.1/100 (top 19% 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.
Dalian Maritime University is a focused PatentsView assignee: 19 CPC subclasses with 20% of grants classified under G06T (IMAGE DATA PROCESSING OR GENERATION, IN GENERAL). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Dalian sits between DYVE Biosciences, Inc. and Danfoss Drives A/s.
Dalian Maritime University shows 8 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
