What this shows Universite's Innovation Score is 69.5/100 (top 1% 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 16.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 13.3 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

How Universite's grant cadence moved

Grant history spans 2020–2025. Across complete PatentsView years, output peaked in 2024 at 23 grants and bottomed in 2020 at 4. Lead class A61K accounts for 40.5% of the portfolio across 58 subclasses. Volume neighbours: TDK—Micronas GmbH (#4,739) and Yachiyo Industry Co., Ltd. (#4,747).

Universite's three-year grant acceleration

Universite Paris-saclay shows 38 grants in 2022–2024 against only 13 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.
