What this shows Nagrastar's Innovation Score is 34.7/100 (48th 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.

Does more volume mean deeper claims for Nagrastar?

Each dot is one of Nagrastar’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). Nagrastar’s own 13.2 claims/patent is at or below the 13.8 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Nagrastar's grants concentrate

Nagrastar LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 53.8% of grants classified under H04N (Pictorial Communication, e.g. Television). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, Nagrastar sits between Metal Fusion, Inc. and Northwest Instrument Inc..

Nagrastar's three-year grant acceleration

Nagrastar LLC shows 5 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.
