What this shows Nanosemi's Innovation Score is 38.6/100 (top 40% 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 Nanosemi?

Each dot is one of Nanosemi’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). Nanosemi’s own 25.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.6 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Nanosemi's grants concentrate

NanoSemi, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 81.5% of grants classified under H04B (Transmission). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (11 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Nanosemi sits between NRI R&D Patent Licensing, LLC and Nilfisk A/S.

Nanosemi's three-year grant acceleration

NanoSemi, Inc. shows 6 grants in 2022–2024 against only 19 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.
