What this shows UAB's Innovation Score is 60.4/100 (top 3% 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.

Where UAB's grants concentrate

UAB 360 IT is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 90.4% of grants classified under H04L (Transmission OF Digital Information, e.g. Telegraphic Communication). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (135 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, UAB sits between Ablic Inc. and Trimble Inc..

UAB's three-year grant acceleration

UAB 360 IT shows 277 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
