What this shows Shanghai's Innovation Score is 53.5/100 (top 9% 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 23.3 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.

Where Shanghai's grants concentrate

Shanghai Industrial μ Technology Research Institute is a focused PatentsView assignee: 13 CPC subclasses with 50% of grants classified under H10D (Inorganic Electric Semiconductor Devices). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Shanghai sits between Shanghai Eastsoft Microelectronics Co., Ltd. and Shanghai NEW Tobacco Product Research Institute Co., Ltd..

Shanghai's three-year grant acceleration

Shanghai Industrial μ Technology Research Institute shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
