What this shows Institute's Innovation Score is 54.0/100 (top 8% 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 Institute?

Each dot is one of Institute’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). Institute’s own 17.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 11.5 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Institute's grants concentrate

Institute OF Flexible Electronics Technology OF THU, Zhejiang is a focused PatentsView assignee: 22 CPC subclasses with 33.3% of grants classified under H05K (Printed CIRCUITS; Casings OR Constructional Details OF Electric APPARATUS; Manufacture OF Assemblages OF Electrical Components). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, Institute sits between Institut Mines TELECOM—IMT ATLANTIQUE—BRETAGNE—PAYS DE LA Loire and Integrated Energy Services Corporation.

Institute's three-year grant acceleration

Institute OF Flexible Electronics Technology OF THU, Zhejiang shows 5 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.
