What this shows Sharif's Innovation Score is 56.1/100 (top 6% 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 Sharif?

Each dot is one of Sharif’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). Sharif’s own 15.1 claims/patent is ABOVE the 10.0 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Sharif's grants concentrate

Sharif University of Technology is a focused PatentsView assignee: 28 CPC subclasses with 23.5% of grants classified under G06F (Electric Digital Data Processing). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Sharif sits between Selkirk Sport, LLC and Shenzhen Corerain Technologies Co., Ltd..

Sharif's three-year grant acceleration

Sharif University of Technology shows 11 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
