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 20.7 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.4 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

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.
