What this shows University's Innovation Score is 43.5/100 (top 28% 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 19.2 claims/patent is ABOVE the 13.1 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 SAO Paulo is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 94.1% of grants classified under H04L (Transmission OF Digital Information, e.g. Telegraphic Communication). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, University sits between Universidad Politecnica DE Valencia and Ubiqomm LLC.

University's three-year grant acceleration

University OF SAO Paulo shows 9 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
