What this shows Queensland's Innovation Score is 54.5/100 (top 8% 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 Queensland?

Each dot is one of Queensland’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). Queensland’s own 14.7 claims/patent is ABOVE the 13.2 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Queensland's grants concentrate

Queensland University of Technology is a focused PatentsView assignee: 27 CPC subclasses with 28.6% of grants classified under A61K (Preparations FOR Medical, Dental OR Toiletry Purposes). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Queensland sits between Qianhai Junda (SHENZHEN) Equity Investment Co., Ltd. and REI, Inc..

Queensland's three-year grant acceleration

Queensland University of Technology shows 5 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.
