What this shows CBN's Innovation Score is 44.9/100 (top 25% 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 CBN?

Each dot is one of CBN’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). CBN’s own 19.4 claims/patent is ABOVE the 10.7 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where CBN's grants concentrate

CBN Nano Technologies Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 25 CPC subclasses with 48.1% of grants classified under B82B (Nanostructures Formed BY Manipulation OF Individual Atoms, Molecules, OR Limited Collections OF Atoms OR Molecules AS Discrete UNITS; Manufacture OR Treatment Thereof). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (6 grants) versus a trough of 3 in 2018. By volume, CBN sits between Brusa Elektronik AG and Champ Vision Display Inc..

CBN's three-year grant acceleration

CBN Nano Technologies Inc. shows 9 grants in 2022–2024 against only 15 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.
