What this shows Nearshore's Innovation Score is 24.0/100 (14th percentile 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 Nearshore?

Each dot is one of Nearshore’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). Nearshore’s own 8.6 claims/patent is at or below the 15.2 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Nearshore's grants concentrate

Nearshore Natural GAS, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under F17C (Vessels FOR Containing OR Storing Compressed, Liquefied OR Solidified GASES; Fixed-capacity GAS-HOLDERS; Filling Vessels With, OR Discharging From Vessels, Compressed, Liquefied, OR Solidified Gases). By volume, Nearshore sits between NC Medical Research Inc. and Nefab AB.

Nearshore's three-year grant acceleration

Nearshore Natural GAS, LLC shows 1 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.
