What this shows National's Innovation Score is 40.7/100 (top 35% 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 11.2 claims/patent is at or below the 15.1 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.
Where National's grants concentrate
National Institutes for Quantum and Radiological Science and Technology is a focused PatentsView assignee: 32 CPC subclasses with 42.4% of grants classified under A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; Identification). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (8 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2024. By volume, National sits between NEW York Society FOR THE Relief OF THE Ruptured AND Crippled, Maintaining THE Hospital FOR Special Surgery and Novozymes North America Inc..
National's three-year grant acceleration
National Institutes for Quantum and Radiological Science and Technology shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 15 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.
