What this shows Urugus's Innovation Score is 37.6/100 (top 43% 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 Urugus?

Each dot is one of Urugus’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). Urugus’s own 22.4 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.9 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Urugus's grants concentrate

Urugus S.A. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 53.8% of grants classified under G02B (Optical Elements, Systems OR Apparatus). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Urugus sits between Union Optech Co., Ltd. and Vault Pressure Control, LLC.

Urugus's three-year grant acceleration

Urugus S.A. shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 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.
