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.
Does more volume mean deeper claims for Nanocomp?
Each dot is one of Nanocomp’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). Nanocomp’s own 14.1 claims/patent is ABOVE the 13.0 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.
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.
