What this shows Universidad's Innovation Score is 38.1/100 (top 42% 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 Universidad?

Each dot is one of Universidad’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). Universidad’s own 11.0 claims/patent is at or below the 12.7 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Universidad's grants concentrate

Universidad de Alicante is a focused PatentsView assignee: 25 CPC subclasses with 42.9% of grants classified under B29K (Indexing Scheme Associated With Subclasses B29b, B29c OR B29d, Relating TO Moulding Materials OR TO Materials FOR ; Moulds, ; Reinforcements, Fillers OR Preformed Parts, e.g. Inserts). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Universidad sits between Universidad Andrés Bello and University of Central Florida.

Universidad's three-year grant acceleration

Universidad de Alicante shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
