What this shows Nanjing's Innovation Score is 63.4/100 (top 2% 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 Nanjing?

Each dot is one of Nanjing’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). Nanjing’s own 7.4 claims/patent is at or below the 18.6 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Nanjing's grants concentrate

Nanjing University OF Posts AND Telecommunications is a focused PatentsView assignee: 46 CPC subclasses with 17.1% of grants classified under H04L (Transmission OF Digital Information, e.g. Telegraphic Communication). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (19 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, Nanjing sits between Livsmed Inc. and Preferred Networks, Inc..

Nanjing's three-year grant acceleration

Nanjing University OF Posts AND Telecommunications shows 49 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
