What this shows University's Innovation Score is 50.4/100 (top 13% 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.

How University's grant cadence moved

Between 2020–2024, University of Macau received 17 grants versus 42 in 2015–2019 (-60% equal-window velocity, below median growth). Across complete PatentsView years, output peaked in 2016 at 13 grants and bottomed in 2024 at 1. Lead class A61K accounts for 18% of the portfolio across 56 subclasses. Volume neighbours: The Industry & Academic Cooperation in Chungnam National University (IAC) (#5,636) and XIA TAI XIN Semiconductor (QING DAO) Ltd. (#5,644).

University's three-year grant acceleration

University of Macau shows 8 grants in 2022–2024 against only 13 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.
