What this shows National's Innovation Score is 54.4/100 (top 8% 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 11.5 claims/patent is ABOVE the 9.7 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 Institutes FOR Quantum Science AND Technology is a focused PatentsView assignee: 24 CPC subclasses with 38.9% of grants classified under A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; Identification). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2023. By volume, National sits between Morris & Associates, Inc. and Neubrex Co., Ltd..
National's three-year grant acceleration
National Institutes FOR Quantum Science AND Technology shows 13 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
