What this shows China's Innovation Score is 27.3/100 (23rd percentile 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.
China Nuclear Power Engineering Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 12 CPC subclasses with 50% of grants classified under Y02E (Reduction OF Greenhouse GAS [GHG] Emissions, Related TO Energy Generation, Transmission OR Distribution). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, China sits between Chien Hwa Coating Technology, Inc. and Chirp Products, LLC.
China Nuclear Power Engineering Co., Ltd. shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
