What this shows Nagoya's Innovation Score is 50.6/100 (top 13% 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 Nagoya?

Each dot is one of Nagoya’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). Nagoya’s own 9.9 claims/patent is at or below the 10.5 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

How Nagoya's grant cadence moved

Between 2020–2024, Nagoya Institute OF Technology received 22 grants versus 23 in 2015–2019 (-4% equal-window velocity, above median growth). Across complete PatentsView years, output peaked in 2017 at 7 grants and bottomed in 2015 at 2. Lead class H02K accounts for 14.6% of the portfolio across 72 subclasses. Volume neighbours: Mbda UK Limited (#6,918) and Nippon Micrometal Corporation (#6,926).

Nagoya's three-year grant acceleration

Nagoya Institute OF Technology shows 13 grants in 2022–2024 against only 14 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.
