What this shows Universidade's Innovation Score is 51.4/100 (top 11% 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 Universidade?

Each dot is one of Universidade’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). Universidade’s own 18.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.8 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Universidade's grants concentrate

Universidade DE Coimbra is a focused PatentsView assignee: 33 CPC subclasses with 40.9% of grants classified under A61P (Specific Therapeutic Activity OF Chemical Compounds OR Medicinal Preparations). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Universidade sits between Tyco Electronics Canada ULC and UpGuard, Inc..

Universidade's three-year grant acceleration

Universidade DE Coimbra 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.
