What this shows Universidade's Innovation Score is 31.5/100 (top 62% 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.

Where Universidade's grants concentrate

Universidade Federal Do Parana is a focused PatentsView assignee: 14 CPC subclasses with 54.5% of grants classified under G02B (OPTICAL ELEMENTS, SYSTEMS OR APPARATUS). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Universidade sits between Unique Materials Co., Ltd. and University Of Denver.

Universidade's three-year grant acceleration

Universidade Federal Do Parana shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
