What this shows NEM's Innovation Score is 43.3/100 (top 28% 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 NEM?

Each dot is one of NEM’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). NEM’s own 13.7 claims/patent is ABOVE the 11.8 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where NEM's grants concentrate

NEM Energy B.V. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 18 CPC subclasses with 66.7% of grants classified under F22B (Methods OF Steam GENERATION; Steam Boilers). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, NEM sits between NDK SAW Devices Co., Ltd. and Neotek Bioscience Co., Ltd..

NEM's three-year grant acceleration

NEM Energy B.V. shows 2 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.
