What this shows National's Innovation Score is 39.4/100 (top 38% 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 9.3 claims/patent is at or below the 12.8 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 Science and Technology Development Agency (NSTDA) is a focused PatentsView assignee: 12 CPC subclasses with 60% of grants classified under Y02A (Technologies FOR Adaptation TO Climate Change). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, National sits between Nara Logics, Inc. and Navinta, LLC.

National's three-year grant acceleration

National Science and Technology Development Agency (NSTDA) shows 2 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.
