What this shows Nautilus's Innovation Score is 28.6/100 (28th percentile 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 Nautilus?

Each dot is one of Nautilus’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). Nautilus’s own 18.2 claims/patent is ABOVE the 12.8 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Nautilus's grants concentrate

Nautilus Engineering, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 83.3% of grants classified under F02B (Internal-combustion Piston ENGINES; Combustion Engines IN General). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Nautilus sits between National Federation OF Agricultural Cooperative Associations and NCI Group, Inc..

Nautilus's three-year grant acceleration

Nautilus Engineering, LLC shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
