What this shows Universite's Innovation Score is 47.2/100 (top 19% 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 Universite?

Each dot is one of Universite’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). Universite’s own 12.5 claims/patent is at or below the 15.9 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Universite's grants concentrate

Universite De Bretagne Occidentale is a focused PatentsView assignee: 27 CPC subclasses with 52.8% of grants classified under A61K (Preparations FOR Medical, Dental OR Toiletry Purposes). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Universite sits between Umbra Technologies Ltd. and Vapor IO Inc..

Universite's three-year grant acceleration

Universite De Bretagne Occidentale shows 12 grants in 2022–2024 against only 9 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.
