What this shows Universitat's Innovation Score is 46.7/100 (top 20% 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 Universitat?

Each dot is one of Universitat’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). Universitat’s own 14.0 claims/patent is at or below the 15.8 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Universitat's grants concentrate

Universitat AUTÓNOMA DE Barcelona is a focused PatentsView assignee: 30 CPC subclasses with 62.5% of grants classified under A61K (Preparations FOR Medical, Dental OR Toiletry Purposes). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Universitat sits between Tom Tom Global Content B.V. and Vacon OY.

Universitat's three-year grant acceleration

Universitat AUTÓNOMA DE Barcelona shows 12 grants in 2022–2024 against only 13 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.
