Where Universite's grants concentrate

Universite DU Quebec A Chicoutimi is a focused PatentsView assignee: 21 CPC subclasses with 33.3% of grants classified under C22C (Alloys). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Universite sits between Universita' Degli Studi DI Bari Aldo Moro and University OF Pittsburgh.

Universite's three-year grant acceleration

Universite DU Quebec A Chicoutimi shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
