What this shows Universidad's Innovation Score is 36.5/100 (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 13.9 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 Industrial de Santander is a focused PatentsView assignee: 30 CPC subclasses with 28.6% of grants classified under B01D (Separation). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, Universidad sits between United States Government Administrator of NASA and Universitat Rovira I Virgili (URV).

Universidad's three-year grant acceleration

Universidad Industrial de Santander shows 1 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.
