What this shows Ming's Innovation Score is 31.7/100 (39th 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 Ming?

Each dot is one of Ming’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). Ming’s own 9.3 claims/patent is at or below the 13.8 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Ming's grants concentrate

Ming Chuan University is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 75% of grants classified under G06T (Image Data Processing OR Generation, IN General). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Ming sits between Micronics, Inc. and Mitsubishi Corporation.

Ming's three-year grant acceleration

Ming Chuan University shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
