What this shows Marquette's Innovation Score is 56.2/100 (top 6% 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 Marquette?

Each dot is one of Marquette’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). Marquette’s own 17.1 claims/patent is ABOVE the 16.6 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

How Marquette's grant cadence moved

Between 2020–2024, Marquette University received 29 grants versus 14 in 2015–2019 (+107% equal-window velocity, above median growth). Across complete PatentsView years, output peaked in 2024 at 11 grants and bottomed in 2019 at 1. Lead class G01N accounts for 19.6% of the portfolio across 72 subclasses. Volume neighbours: Lagom Kitchen Co. (#7,158) and Nova Ltd. (#7,166).

Marquette's three-year grant acceleration

Marquette University shows 16 grants in 2022–2024 against only 14 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.
