What this shows Nidec's Innovation Score is 43.2/100 (top 29% 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 Nidec?

Each dot is one of Nidec’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). Nidec’s own 15.6 claims/patent is ABOVE the 12.9 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Nidec's grants concentrate

Nidec Elesys Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 25 CPC subclasses with 45.7% of grants classified under H02P (Control OR Regulation OF Electric Motors, Electric Generators OR Dynamo-electric CONVERTERS; Controlling Transformers, Reactors OR Choke Coils). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Nidec sits between National Institute OF Meteorological Sciences and Osstem Implant Co., Ltd.

Nidec's three-year grant acceleration

Nidec Elesys Corporation shows 8 grants in 2022–2024 against only 14 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.
