What this shows Universidad's Innovation Score is 36.7/100 (top 46% 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 10.4 claims/patent is at or below the 11.8 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 Salamanca is a focused PatentsView assignee: 14 CPC subclasses with 25% of grants classified under A61N (ELECTROTHERAPY; MAGNETOTHERAPY; Radiation THERAPY; Ultrasound Therapy). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Universidad sits between Unictron Technologies Corporation and Universiteit van Amsterdam.

Universidad's three-year grant acceleration

Universidad de Salamanca shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
