What this shows Universiteit's Innovation Score is 45.8/100 (top 22% 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 17.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.3 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 van Amsterdam is a focused PatentsView assignee: 21 CPC subclasses with 41.7% of grants classified under C07C (Acyclic OR Carbocyclic Compounds). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Universiteit sits between Universidad de Salamanca and Utah State University Space Dynamics Laboratory.

Universiteit's three-year grant acceleration

Universiteit van Amsterdam shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
