What this shows University's Innovation Score is 51.9/100 (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 11.2 claims/patent is at or below the 13.1 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

How University's grant cadence moved

Between 2020–2024, University OF Yamanashi received 28 grants versus 28 in 2015–2019 (+0% equal-window velocity, above median growth). Across complete PatentsView years, output peaked in 2022 at 9 grants and bottomed in 2017 at 3. Lead class Y02E accounts for 48.3% of the portfolio across 60 subclasses. Volume neighbours: Teac Corporation (#5,716) and Wuyi University (#5,724).

University's three-year grant acceleration

University OF Yamanashi shows 17 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.
