What this shows Nicoya's Innovation Score is 44.3/100 (top 26% 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 Nicoya?

Each dot is one of Nicoya’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). Nicoya’s own 11.8 claims/patent is at or below the 14.4 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Nicoya's grants concentrate

Nicoya Lifesciences Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 71.4% of grants classified under G01N (Investigating OR Analysing Materials BY Determining Their Chemical OR Physical Properties). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Nicoya sits between New Power Concepts LLC and Nocira, LLC.

Nicoya's three-year grant acceleration

Nicoya Lifesciences Inc. shows 9 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.
