What this shows Nedap's Innovation Score is 53.0/100 (top 9% 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 Nedap?

Each dot is one of Nedap’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). Nedap’s own 21.0 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.6 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Nedap's grants concentrate

Nedap N.V. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 14 CPC subclasses with 85.7% of grants classified under A01K (Animal HUSBANDRY; AVICULTURE; APICULTURE; PISCICULTURE; FISHING; Rearing OR Breeding Animals, NOT Otherwise Provided FOR; NEW Breeds OF Animals). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2024. By volume, Nedap sits between National and Kapodistrian University of Athens and Neon Evolution Inc..

Nedap's three-year grant acceleration

Nedap N.V. shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
