What this shows Yuan's Innovation Score is 47.4/100 (top 19% 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 Yuan?

Each dot is one of Yuan’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). Yuan’s own 11.1 claims/patent is at or below the 12.8 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

How Yuan's grant cadence moved

Between 2020–2024, Yuan ZE University received 12 grants versus 40 in 2015–2019 (-70% equal-window velocity, below median growth). Across complete PatentsView years, output peaked in 2017 at 10 grants and bottomed in 2021 at 1. Lead class Y02E accounts for 15.1% of the portfolio across 54 subclasses. Volume neighbours: Varcode Ltd. (#6,401) and Zuora, Inc. (#6,409).

Yuan's three-year grant acceleration

Yuan ZE University shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 17 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.
