What this shows Utah's Innovation Score is 46.6/100 (top 20% 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 Utah?

Each dot is one of Utah’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). Utah’s own 19.5 claims/patent is ABOVE the 16.7 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Utah's grants concentrate

Utah Valley University is a focused PatentsView assignee: 30 CPC subclasses with 42.1% of grants classified under A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; Identification). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, Utah sits between Uccellini Inc. and Virnect Inc..

Utah's three-year grant acceleration

Utah Valley University shows 7 grants in 2022–2024 against only 9 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.
