What this shows University's Innovation Score is 51.4/100 (top 11% 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 19.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 17.3 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 South Australia received 9 grants versus 22 in 2015–2019 (-59% equal-window velocity, below median growth). Across complete PatentsView years, output peaked in 2017 at 8 grants and bottomed in 2015 at 2. Lead class H04B accounts for 15.6% of the portfolio across 53 subclasses. Volume neighbours: TriQuint Semiconductor, Inc. (#9,907) and University of Rhode Island Board of Trustees (#9,915).

University's three-year grant acceleration

University OF South Australia shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 8 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.
