What this shows Shanghai's Innovation Score is 44.3/100 (top 26% 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 11.7 claims/patent is at or below the 11.8 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 Institute OF Technology is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 33.3% of grants classified under C10L (Fuels NOT Otherwise Provided FOR; Natural GAS; Synthetic Natural GAS Obtained BY Processes NOT Covered BY Subclasses C10g OR C10K; Liquified Petroleum GAS; USE OF Additives TO Fuels OR FIRES; Fire-lig). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, Shanghai sits between Shanghai First People's Hospital and Shanghai Runhood Smart Energy Co., Ltd..

Shanghai's three-year grant acceleration

Shanghai Institute OF Technology 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.
