What this shows Miami's Innovation Score is 34.9/100 (49th percentile 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 Miami?

Each dot is one of Miami’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). Miami’s own 11.9 claims/patent is at or below the 12.9 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Miami's grants concentrate

Miami University is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 42.9% 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 2023 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Miami sits between Mettler-Toledo Measurement Technology Ltd. and MicroUnity Systems Engineering, Inc..

Miami's three-year grant acceleration

Miami University shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
