What this shows Nantong's Innovation Score is 48.1/100 (top 17% 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 Nantong?

Each dot is one of Nantong’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). Nantong’s own 18.0 claims/patent is ABOVE the 17.7 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Nantong's grants concentrate

Nantong Schmidt Opto-Electrical Technology Co. Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 50% of grants classified under F16M (Frames, Casings OR Beds OF Engines, Machines OR Apparatus, NOT Specific TO Engines, Machines OR Apparatus Provided FOR ELSEWHERE; STANDS; Supports). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Nantong sits between Nanofilm Technologies International Limited and National University Corporation Kitami Institute of Technology.

Nantong's three-year grant acceleration

Nantong Schmidt Opto-Electrical Technology Co. Ltd. shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
