Does more volume mean deeper claims for Umm-al-qura?

Each dot is one of Umm-al-qura’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). Umm-al-qura’s own 11.8 claims/patent is at or below the 14.5 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

How Umm-al-qura's grant cadence moved

Between 2020–2024, Umm-Al-Qura University received 8 grants versus 69 in 2015–2019 (-88% equal-window velocity, below median growth). Across complete PatentsView years, output peaked in 2016 at 27 grants and bottomed in 2022 at 1. Lead class H04W accounts for 14.3% of the portfolio across 96 subclasses. Volume neighbours: Tejas Networks Limited (#4,587) and Wuhan University OF Technology (#4,595).

Umm-al-qura's three-year grant acceleration

Umm-Al-Qura University shows 3 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.
