What this shows Universiteit's Innovation Score is 40.4/100 (top 36% 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 Universiteit?

Each dot is one of Universiteit’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). Universiteit’s own 15.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.1 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Universiteit's grants concentrate

Universiteit Utrecht Holding B.V. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 19 CPC subclasses with 50% of grants classified under A61P (Specific Therapeutic Activity OF Chemical Compounds OR Medicinal Preparations). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Universiteit sits between Utac Thai Limited and Vac-tron Equipment, LLC.

Universiteit's three-year grant acceleration

Universiteit Utrecht Holding B.V. shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
