What this shows New's Innovation Score is 35.8/100 (top 48% 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 New?

Each dot is one of New’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). New’s own 11.7 claims/patent is ABOVE the 8.2 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where New's grants concentrate

New Way Machine Components, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 15 CPC subclasses with 86.7% of grants classified under F16C (SHAFTS; Flexible SHAFTS; Elements OR Crankshaft MECHANISMS; Rotary Bodies Other Than Gearing ELEMENTS; Bearings). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, New sits between Neatframe Limited and Nickel & Suede LLC.

New's three-year grant acceleration

New Way Machine Components, Inc. shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 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.
