What this shows Universidade's Innovation Score is 44.4/100 (top 26% 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 16.0 claims/patent is ABOVE the 13.3 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 Vigo is a focused PatentsView assignee: 34 CPC subclasses with 33.3% of grants classified under A61K (Preparations FOR Medical, Dental OR Toiletry Purposes). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (3 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2015. By volume, Universidade sits between Uniflex Technology Inc. and UNIVERSITÉ DU Mans.

Universidade's three-year grant acceleration

Universidade DE Vigo shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
