What this shows Yangzhou's Innovation Score is 64.4/100 (top 2% 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 Yangzhou?

Each dot is one of Yangzhou’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). Yangzhou’s own 8.4 claims/patent is at or below the 16.1 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

How Yangzhou's grant cadence moved

Between 2020–2024, Yangzhou University received 46 grants versus 4 in 2015–2019 (+1050% equal-window velocity, top decile growth). Across complete PatentsView years, output peaked in 2022 at 15 grants and bottomed in 2018 at 1. Lead class G06F accounts for 17.5% of the portfolio across 79 subclasses. Volume neighbours: Valeo Japan Co., Ltd. (#5,486) and Afiniti Europe Technologies Limited (#5,494).

Yangzhou's three-year grant acceleration

Yangzhou University shows 41 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.
