What this shows Shanghaitech's Innovation Score is 62.9/100 (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 Shanghaitech?

Each dot is one of Shanghaitech’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). Shanghaitech’s own 12.5 claims/patent is ABOVE the 10.4 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Shanghaitech's grants concentrate

Shanghaitech University is a focused PatentsView assignee: 39 CPC subclasses with 32.3% of grants classified under G06T (Image Data Processing OR Generation, IN General). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (15 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Shanghaitech sits between Reinz-dichtungs-gmbh and Sungwoo Hitech Co., Ltd..

Shanghaitech's three-year grant acceleration

Shanghaitech University shows 37 grants in 2022–2024 against only 13 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.
