What this shows Universitat's Innovation Score is 60.3/100 (top 3% 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 14.7 claims/patent is ABOVE the 11.5 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

How Universitat's grant cadence moved

Between 2020–2024, Universitat POLITÉCNICA DE Catalunya received 14 grants versus 30 in 2015–2019 (-53% equal-window velocity, below median growth). Across complete PatentsView years, output peaked in 2017 at 14 grants and bottomed in 2019 at 1. Lead class A61B accounts for 15.9% of the portfolio across 65 subclasses. Volume neighbours: U-shin Ltd. (#7,494) and VIS, LLC (#7,502).

Universitat's three-year grant acceleration

Universitat POLITÉCNICA DE Catalunya shows 10 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
