What this shows Universitat's Innovation Score is 33.4/100 (44th percentile 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.

Where Universitat's grants concentrate

Universitat Pompeu Fabra is a focused PatentsView assignee: 16 CPC subclasses with 50% of grants classified under A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; Identification). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Universitat sits between Universal Hinge Corporation and University of Genoa.

Universitat's three-year grant acceleration

Universitat Pompeu Fabra shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
