What this shows Universidad's Innovation Score is 40.7/100 (top 35% 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 13.7 claims/patent is ABOVE the 11.4 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Universidad's grants concentrate

Universidad DE MÁLAGA is a focused PatentsView assignee: 10 CPC subclasses with 44.4% of grants classified under G02B (Optical Elements, Systems OR Apparatus). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Universidad sits between Universidad DE Buenos Aires and Universite DE Cergy Pontoise.

Universidad's three-year grant acceleration

Universidad DE MÁLAGA shows 4 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.
