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.

Does more volume mean deeper claims for UAB?

Each dot is one of UAB’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). UAB’s own 19.6 claims/patent is ABOVE the 17.9 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

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.
