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.
