What this shows East's Innovation Score is 65.7/100 (top 1% 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 East?

Each dot is one of East’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). East’s own 10.9 claims/patent is at or below the 11.7 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

How East's grant cadence moved

Between 2020–2024, East China Normal University received 39 grants versus 7 in 2015–2019 (+457% equal-window velocity, top decile growth). Across complete PatentsView years, output peaked in 2024 at 16 grants and bottomed in 2015 at 1. Lead class G01N accounts for 21.7% of the portfolio across 54 subclasses. Volume neighbours: Daon Holdings Limited (#5,661) and F.S.KOREA Industries Inc. (#5,669).

East's three-year grant acceleration

East China Normal University shows 35 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 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.
