What this shows National's Innovation Score is 47.4/100 (top 19% 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 at or below the 14.4 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

How National's grant cadence moved

Between 2020–2024, National University Corporation Nara Institute OF Science AND Technology received 12 grants versus 27 in 2015–2019 (-56% equal-window velocity, below median growth). Across complete PatentsView years, output peaked in 2015 at 11 grants and bottomed in 2017 at 1. Lead class H10D accounts for 15.4% of the portfolio across 52 subclasses. Volume neighbours: Moximed, Inc. (#8,251) and Neupharma, Inc (#8,259).

National's three-year grant acceleration

National University Corporation Nara Institute OF Science AND Technology shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 12 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.
