What this shows Nerudia's Innovation Score is 33.7/100 (45th 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 Nerudia?

Each dot is one of Nerudia’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). Nerudia’s own 5.2 claims/patent is at or below the 17.5 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Nerudia's grants concentrate

Nerudia Limited is a focused PatentsView assignee: 10 CPC subclasses with 19.6% of grants classified under A24F (Smokers' REQUISITES; Match BOXES; Simulated Smoking Devices). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (13 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2023. By volume, Nerudia sits between Nova Ltd. and Peri SE.

Nerudia's three-year grant acceleration

Nerudia Limited shows 10 grants in 2022–2024 against only 11 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.
