What this shows Universita's Innovation Score is 54.6/100 (top 8% 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 Universita?

Each dot is one of Universita’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). Universita’s own 12.8 claims/patent is at or below the 16.8 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

How Universita's grant cadence moved

Between 2020–2024, Universita Degli Studi DI Palermo received 19 grants versus 33 in 2015–2019 (-42% equal-window velocity, below median growth). Across complete PatentsView years, output peaked in 2016 at 10 grants and bottomed in 2020 at 2. Lead class A61P accounts for 45.6% of the portfolio across 60 subclasses. Volume neighbours: The Trustees of Boston College (#5,984) and Wargaming.net Limited (#5,992).

Universita's three-year grant acceleration

Universita Degli Studi DI Palermo shows 13 grants in 2022–2024 against only 11 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.
