What this shows Nanjing's Innovation Score is 59.0/100 (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 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 9.5 claims/patent is at or below the 14.3 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 Science AND Technology is a focused PatentsView assignee: 35 CPC subclasses with 20% of grants classified under G06T (Image Data Processing OR Generation, IN General). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (10 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Nanjing sits between Meditrina, Inc. and Ncsoft Corporation.

Nanjing's three-year grant acceleration

Nanjing University OF Science AND Technology shows 20 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 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.
