What this shows Nercon's Innovation Score is 33.3/100 (44th 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 Nercon?

Each dot is one of Nercon’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). Nercon’s own 14.6 claims/patent is at or below the 14.6 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Nercon's grants concentrate

Nercon Eng. & Mfg., Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 2 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under B65G (Transport OR Storage Devices, e.g. Conveyors FOR Loading OR Tipping, Shop Conveyor Systems OR Pneumatic Tube Conveyors). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Nercon sits between Neomend, Inc. and NeuShield, Inc..

Nercon's three-year grant acceleration

Nercon Eng. & Mfg., Inc. shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
