What this shows Nationwide's Innovation Score is 36.6/100 (top 46% 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 Nationwide?

Each dot is one of Nationwide’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). Nationwide’s own 13.4 claims/patent is at or below the 14.7 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Nationwide's grants concentrate

Nationwide Industries, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 66.7% of grants classified under E05B (LOCKS; Accessories THEREFOR; Handcuffs). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Nationwide sits between Nanophoton Corporation and Ndsl, Inc..

Nationwide's three-year grant acceleration

Nationwide Industries, Inc. shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
