What this shows Nantcell's Innovation Score is 58.0/100 (top 5% 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 Nantcell?

Each dot is one of Nantcell’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). Nantcell’s own 15.4 claims/patent is ABOVE the 10.2 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Nantcell's grants concentrate

NantCell, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 20 CPC subclasses with 73.8% of grants classified under A61K (Preparations FOR Medical, Dental OR Toiletry Purposes). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (10 grants) versus a trough of 5 in 2021. By volume, Nantcell sits between Morinaga Milk Industry Co., Ltd. and Northwestern Polytechnical University.

Nantcell's three-year grant acceleration

NantCell, Inc. shows 28 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
