What this shows Swinburne's Innovation Score is 39.9/100 (top 37% 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 Swinburne?

Each dot is one of Swinburne’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). Swinburne’s own 13.1 claims/patent is at or below the 15.8 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Swinburne's grants concentrate

Swinburne University OF Technology is a focused PatentsView assignee: 27 CPC subclasses with 40% of grants classified under B29C (Shaping OR Joining OF PLASTICS; Shaping OF Material IN A Plastic State, NOT Otherwise Provided FOR; After-treatment OF THE Shaped Products, e.g. Repairing). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Swinburne sits between Sungbo Industrial Co., Ltd. and Sync Power Corp..

Swinburne's three-year grant acceleration

Swinburne University OF Technology shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
