What this shows Universal's Innovation Score is 40.1/100 (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 Universal?

Each dot is one of Universal’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). Universal’s own 11.3 claims/patent is at or below the 13.9 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Universal's grants concentrate

Universal Trim Supply Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 15 CPC subclasses with 23.8% of grants classified under B65D (Containers FOR Storage OR Transport OF Articles OR Materials, e.g. Bags, Barrels, Bottles, Boxes, Cans, Cartons, Crates, Drums, Jars, Tanks, Hoppers, Forwarding CONTAINERS; Accessories, Closures, OR F). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Universal sits between UNIVERSITÉ DE Reims Champagne-ardenne and Vanguard International Semiconductor Singapore PTE. Ltd..

Universal's three-year grant acceleration

Universal Trim Supply Co., Ltd. shows 8 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 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.
