What this shows Shandong's Innovation Score is 41.2/100 (top 34% 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 Shandong?

Each dot is one of Shandong’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). Shandong’s own 8.6 claims/patent is at or below the 10.4 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Shandong's grants concentrate

Shandong Normal University is a focused PatentsView assignee: 16 CPC subclasses with 27.3% of grants classified under G01N (Investigating OR Analysing Materials BY Determining Their Chemical OR Physical Properties). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Shandong sits between SEN Corporation and Shanghai TAI MO Electronic Technology Co., Ltd..

Shandong's three-year grant acceleration

Shandong Normal University shows 4 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.
