What this shows Universidade's Innovation Score is 32.4/100 (41st percentile 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 10.6 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 Universidade's grants concentrate

Universidade Federal DE Santa Catarina is a focused PatentsView assignee: 20 CPC subclasses with 45.5% of grants classified under B22F (Working Metallic POWDER; Manufacture OF Articles From Metallic POWDER; Making Metallic Powder ; Apparatus OR Devices Specially Adapted FOR Metallic Powder). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Universidade sits between Uniform Industrial Corp. and UST Global (Singapore) Pte. Limited.

Universidade's three-year grant acceleration

Universidade Federal DE Santa Catarina 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.
