What this shows Morgan's Innovation Score is 60.0/100 (top 4% 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 Morgan?

Each dot is one of Morgan’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). Morgan’s own 13.2 claims/patent is at or below the 14.1 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

How Morgan's grant cadence moved

Between 2020–2024, Morgan State University received 35 grants versus 4 in 2015–2019 (+775% equal-window velocity, top decile growth). Across complete PatentsView years, output peaked in 2023 at 13 grants and bottomed in 2016 at 1. Lead class G06F accounts for 22.7% of the portfolio across 51 subclasses. Volume neighbours: Mjnn LLC (#7,439) and Nitto Kohki Co., Ltd. (#7,447).

Morgan's three-year grant acceleration

Morgan State University shows 25 grants in 2022–2024 against only 12 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.
