What this shows Board's Innovation Score is 41.6/100 (top 33% 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 Board?

Each dot is one of Board’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). Board’s own 21.3 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.0 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Board's grants concentrate

Board of Regents of the Nevada System of Higher Education on behalf of the Desert Research Institute is a focused PatentsView assignee: 19 CPC subclasses with 16.7% of grants classified under F42B (Explosive Charges, e.g. FOR Blasting, Fireworks, Ammunition). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Board sits between Blue Quench LLC and Bollinger Motors, Inc..

Board's three-year grant acceleration

Board of Regents of the Nevada System of Higher Education on behalf of the Desert Research Institute shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
