What this shows Københavns's Innovation Score is 47.4/100 (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.

Does more volume mean deeper claims for Københavns?

Each dot is one of Københavns’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). Københavns’s own 14.7 claims/patent is ABOVE the 11.4 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Københavns's grants concentrate

Københavns Universitet is a focused PatentsView assignee: 38 CPC subclasses with 30.4% of grants classified under C12N (Microorganisms OR ENZYMES; Compositions THEREOF; Propagating, Preserving, OR Maintaining MICROORGANISMS; Mutation OR Genetic ENGINEERING; Culture Media). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Københavns sits between Kinetic River Corp. and Loma Linda University Medical Center.

Københavns's three-year grant acceleration

Københavns Universitet shows 7 grants in 2022–2024 against only 8 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.
