What this shows University's Innovation Score is 32.7/100 (42nd percentile 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 University?

Each dot is one of University’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). University’s own 16.5 claims/patent is ABOVE the 13.9 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where University's grants concentrate

University Hospitals OF Cleveland is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 66.7% of grants classified under A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; Identification). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, University sits between Unipixel Displays, Inc. and Urotech GMBH.

University's three-year grant acceleration

University Hospitals OF Cleveland shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
