What this shows NCC's Innovation Score is 35.6/100 (top 49% 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 NCC?

Each dot is one of NCC’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). NCC’s own 12.7 claims/patent is ABOVE the 10.3 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where NCC's grants concentrate

NCC Nano, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 20 CPC subclasses with 61.9% of grants classified under H05K (Printed CIRCUITS; Casings OR Constructional Details OF Electric APPARATUS; Manufacture OF Assemblages OF Electrical Components). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, NCC sits between Namlab Ggmbh and Nine Stars Group, (USA) Inc.

NCC's three-year grant acceleration

NCC Nano, LLC shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 9 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.
