What this shows Ncip's Innovation Score is 44.2/100 (top 26% 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 Ncip?

Each dot is one of Ncip’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). Ncip’s own 7.5 claims/patent is at or below the 11.8 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Ncip's grants concentrate

Ncip Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 10 CPC subclasses with 90.9% of grants classified under E03C (Domestic Plumbing Installations FOR Fresh Water OR Waste Water ; Sinks). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (4 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2021. By volume, Ncip sits between National Guard Products, Inc. and Neooto Co., Ltd..

Ncip's three-year grant acceleration

Ncip Inc. shows 8 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.
