What this shows Shanghai's Innovation Score is 48.5/100 (top 16% 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 Shanghai?

Each dot is one of Shanghai’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). Shanghai’s own 11.6 claims/patent is at or below the 14.4 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Shanghai's grants concentrate

Shanghai IC R&D Center Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 27 CPC subclasses with 44.1% of grants classified under H01L (Semiconductor Devices NOT Covered BY Class H10). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (8 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2015. By volume, Shanghai sits between Qingdao Pico Technology Co., Ltd. and SiLC Technologies, Inc..

Shanghai's three-year grant acceleration

Shanghai IC R&D Center Co., Ltd. shows 19 grants in 2022–2024 against only 14 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.
