What this shows Nanocomp's Innovation Score is 51.3/100 (top 12% 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.

Where Nanocomp's grants concentrate

Nanocomp Technologies Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 37 CPC subclasses with 46.2% of grants classified under B82Y (Specific Uses OR Applications OF NANOSTRUCTURES; Measurement OR Analysis OF NANOSTRUCTURES; Manufacture OR Treatment OF Nanostructures). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Nanocomp sits between Northwest Instrument Inc. and Norgren Automation Solutions, LLC.

Nanocomp's three-year grant acceleration

Nanocomp Technologies Inc. shows 9 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 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.
