What this shows University's Innovation Score is 40.7/100 (top 35% 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 12.7 claims/patent is ABOVE the 12.1 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 OF Central Oklahoma is a focused PatentsView assignee: 36 CPC subclasses with 53.8% of grants classified under D01D (Mechanical Methods OR Apparatus IN THE Manufacture OF Artificial Filaments, Threads, Fibres, Bristles OR Ribbons). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (8 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, University sits between Touch Bionics Limited and University of Pretoria.

University's three-year grant acceleration

University OF Central Oklahoma shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 15 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.
