What this shows Yantai's Innovation Score is 49.5/100 (top 15% 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 Yantai?

Each dot is one of Yantai’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). Yantai’s own 5.0 claims/patent is at or below the 12.9 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Yantai's grants concentrate

Yantai University is a focused PatentsView assignee: 23 CPC subclasses with 33.3% of grants classified under H04L (Transmission OF Digital Information, e.g. Telegraphic Communication). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Yantai sits between Young Living Essential Oils, LC and Z-modular Holding, Inc..

Yantai's three-year grant acceleration

Yantai University shows 9 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
