What this shows Universiti's Innovation Score is 37.6/100 (top 43% 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 Universiti?

Each dot is one of Universiti’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). Universiti’s own 7.5 claims/patent is at or below the 11.8 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Universiti's grants concentrate

Universiti Malaya is a focused PatentsView assignee: 17 CPC subclasses with 27.3% of grants classified under A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; Identification). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Universiti sits between Universal Laser Systems, Inc. and Ultimate Strength Cable, LLC.

Universiti's three-year grant acceleration

Universiti Malaya 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.
