What this shows UIF's Innovation Score is 68.1/100 (top 1% 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.
Grant history spans 2022–2025. Across complete PatentsView years, output peaked in 2024 at 25 grants and bottomed in 2022 at 8. Lead class G06F accounts for 15.7% of the portfolio across 74 subclasses. Volume neighbours: Toyota Shatai Kabushiki Kaisha (#4,306) and YELLOWPAGES.COM LLC (#4,314).
UIF (University Industry Foundation), Yonsei University shows 56 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
