What this shows Shanghai's Innovation Score is 62.1/100 (top 2% 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 18.6 claims/patent is ABOVE the 13.9 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 United Imaging Intelligence Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 16 CPC subclasses with 79.2% of grants classified under G06T (Image Data Processing OR Generation, IN General). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (38 grants) versus a trough of 14 in 2021. By volume, Shanghai sits between Katalyst Surgical, LLC and Xiamen Sanan Optoelectronics Technology Co., Ltd..
Shanghai's three-year grant acceleration
Shanghai United Imaging Intelligence Co., Ltd. shows 101 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.
