What this shows Rowan's Innovation Score is 57.0/100 (top 6% 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 Rowan?

Each dot is one of Rowan’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). Rowan’s own 16.5 claims/patent is ABOVE the 11.8 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

How Rowan's grant cadence moved

Between 2020–2024, Rowan University received 27 grants versus 13 in 2015–2019 (+108% equal-window velocity, above median growth). Across complete PatentsView years, output peaked in 2022 at 8 grants and bottomed in 2015 at 1. Lead class G01N accounts for 34.1% of the portfolio across 53 subclasses. Volume neighbours: Realnetworks LLC (#7,913) and Sekisui Polymatech Co., Ltd. (#7,921).

Rowan's three-year grant acceleration

Rowan University shows 18 grants in 2022–2024 against only 13 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.
