What this shows Nantworks's Innovation Score is 43.6/100 (top 28% 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.

Where Nantworks's grants concentrate

Nantworks, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 19 CPC subclasses with 55.6% of grants classified under A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; Identification). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Nantworks sits between NanoDX, Inc. and Navipharm Co., Ltd..

Nantworks's three-year grant acceleration

Nantworks, LLC 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.
