What this shows National's Innovation Score is 48.5/100 (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 National?

Each dot is one of National’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). National’s own 17.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 10.6 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where National's grants concentrate

National ICT Australia Limited is a focused PatentsView assignee: 39 CPC subclasses with 37% of grants classified under G06F (Electric Digital Data Processing). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (10 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2021. By volume, National sits between Menasha Corporation and Nortek Air Solutions Canada, Inc..

National's three-year grant acceleration

National ICT Australia Limited shows 6 grants in 2022–2024 against only 17 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.
