What this shows National's Innovation Score is 70.0/100 (top 1% 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.
Grant history spans 2021–2025. Across complete PatentsView years, output peaked in 2023 at 38 grants and bottomed in 2021 at 7. Lead class G06T accounts for 12.9% of the portfolio across 84 subclasses. Volume neighbours: Joby Aero, Inc. (#2,771) and SoftBank Corp. (#2,779).
National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University shows 95 grants in 2022–2024 against only 7 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.
