What this shows Navico's Innovation Score is 64.5/100 (top 2% 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 Navico?

Each dot is one of Navico’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). Navico’s own 17.2 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.9 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Navico's grants concentrate

Navico, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 32 CPC subclasses with 58.3% of grants classified under G01S (Radio DIRECTION-FINDING; Radio NAVIGATION; Determining Distance OR Velocity BY USE OF Radio WAVES; Locating OR Presence-detecting BY USE OF THE Reflection OR Reradiation OF Radio WAVES; Analogous Arra). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (26 grants) versus a trough of 12 in 2023. By volume, Navico sits between Luxottica S.R.L. and New Motech Co., Ltd..

Navico's three-year grant acceleration

Navico, Inc. shows 38 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
