What this shows Urban's Innovation Score is 39.1/100 (top 39% 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 Urban?

Each dot is one of Urban’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). Urban’s own 15.9 claims/patent is at or below the 19.0 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Urban's grants concentrate

Urban Mining Corp B.V. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 62.5% of grants classified under B03C (Magnetic OR Electrostatic Separation OF Solid Materials From Solid Materials OR FLUIDS; Separation BY High-voltage Electric Fields). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Urban sits between University of the Ryukyus and Valagro Carbone Renouvelable Poitou-charentes.

Urban's three-year grant acceleration

Urban Mining Corp B.V. shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
