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 17.5 claims/patent is ABOVE the 9.7 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 Microelectronics Technology Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 83.3% of grants classified under H03M (CODING; DECODING; Code Conversion IN General). By volume, Shanghai sits between Shanghai NEW Tobacco Product Research Institute Co., Ltd. and Shell Shock Technologies Inc.
Shanghai's three-year grant acceleration
Shanghai United Imaging Microelectronics Technology Co., Ltd. shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
