What this shows Nearmap's Innovation Score is 54.6/100 (top 8% 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 Nearmap?

Each dot is one of Nearmap’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). Nearmap’s own 18.4 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.5 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Nearmap's grants concentrate

Nearmap Australia PTY Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 12 CPC subclasses with 88% of grants classified under H04N (Pictorial Communication, e.g. Television). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, Nearmap sits between Molekule Group, Inc. and Norsk Hydro ASA.

Nearmap's three-year grant acceleration

Nearmap Australia PTY Ltd. shows 10 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
