What this shows University's Innovation Score is 33.7/100 (45th percentile 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 19.3 claims/patent is ABOVE the 17.2 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 Southern Queensland is a focused PatentsView assignee: 15 CPC subclasses with 50% of grants classified under G06V (Image OR Video Recognition OR Understanding). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, University sits between University of Genoa and Università degli Studi di Trieste.

University's three-year grant acceleration

University of Southern Queensland shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
