What this shows Université's Innovation Score is 43.4/100 (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 Université?

Each dot is one of Université’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). Université’s own 14.0 claims/patent is ABOVE the 10.7 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Université's grants concentrate

UNIVERSITÉ DE Tours is a focused PatentsView assignee: 30 CPC subclasses with 25% of grants classified under A61P (Specific Therapeutic Activity OF Chemical Compounds OR Medicinal Preparations). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2023. By volume, Université sits between Universidad Complutense DE Madrid and Universal Can Corporation.

Université's three-year grant acceleration

UNIVERSITÉ DE Tours shows 7 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.
