What this shows Nakamura-tome's Innovation Score is 29.0/100 (29th 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 Nakamura-tome?

Each dot is one of Nakamura-tome’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). Nakamura-tome’s own 5.6 claims/patent is at or below the 17.5 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Nakamura-tome's grants concentrate

Nakamura-tome Precision Industry Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 17 CPC subclasses with 71.4% of grants classified under B23Q (Details, Components, OR Accessories FOR Machine Tools, e.g. Arrangements FOR Copying OR Controlling ; Machine Tools IN General Characterised BY THE Construction OF Particular Details OR COMPONENTS; Co). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, Nakamura-tome sits between Morphic Therapeutic, Inc. and Nanowear Inc..

Nakamura-tome's three-year grant acceleration

Nakamura-tome Precision Industry Co., Ltd. shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 8 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.
