What this shows Università's Innovation Score is 41.1/100 (top 34% 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 Università?

Each dot is one of Università’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). Università’s own 21.2 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.3 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Università's grants concentrate

Università della Svizzera italiana (USI) is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 66.7% of grants classified under G06F (Electric Digital Data Processing). By volume, Università sits between University of Tehran and Upskill, Inc..

Università's three-year grant acceleration

Università della Svizzera italiana (USI) shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
