What this shows University's Innovation Score is 56.3/100 (top 6% 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 16.6 claims/patent is ABOVE the 16.4 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

How University's grant cadence moved

Between 2020–2024, University of New Hempshire received 32 grants versus 20 in 2015–2019 (+60% equal-window velocity, above median growth). Across complete PatentsView years, output peaked in 2017 at 9 grants and bottomed in 2015 at 1. Lead class G01N accounts for 14.5% of the portfolio across 75 subclasses. Volume neighbours: Theatro Labs, Inc. (#6,197) and Whitmor, Inc. (#6,205).

University's three-year grant acceleration

University of New Hempshire shows 21 grants in 2022–2024 against only 19 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.
