What this shows Ncku's Innovation Score is 39.2/100 (top 39% 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 Ncku?

Each dot is one of Ncku’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). Ncku’s own 11.8 claims/patent is at or below the 17.1 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Ncku's grants concentrate

Ncku Research and Development Foundation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 23 CPC subclasses with 23.1% of grants classified under G06T (Image Data Processing OR Generation, IN General). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Ncku sits between MyFitnessPal, Inc. and Newpark Mats & Integrated Services LLC.

Ncku's three-year grant acceleration

Ncku Research and Development Foundation shows 6 grants in 2022–2024 against only 17 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.
