What this shows Nanoxplore's Innovation Score is 47.2/100 (top 19% 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 Nanoxplore?

Each dot is one of Nanoxplore’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). Nanoxplore’s own 23.3 claims/patent is ABOVE the 17.0 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Nanoxplore's grants concentrate

NanoXplore Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 23 CPC subclasses with 66.7% of grants classified under C01B (Non-metallic ELEMENTS; Compounds THEREOF; ; Metalloids OR Compounds Thereof NOT Covered BY Subclass C01c). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Nanoxplore sits between NOX II, Ltd. and Navitar, Inc..

Nanoxplore's three-year grant acceleration

NanoXplore Inc. shows 4 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.
