What this shows Nano-c's Innovation Score is 49.0/100 (top 15% 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 Nano-c?

Each dot is one of Nano-c’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). Nano-c’s own 23.3 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.1 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Nano-c's grants concentrate

Nano-c, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 21 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 2016 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, Nano-c sits between Moon Surgical SAS and NIO (ANHUI) Holding Co., Ltd..

Nano-c's three-year grant acceleration

Nano-c, Inc. 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.
