What this shows Nidec's Innovation Score is 28.6/100 (28th 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 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 15.3 claims/patent is ABOVE the 11.0 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 SSB Wind Systems GMBH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under F03D (Wind Motors). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Nidec sits between Nexus Industries Limited and Niko NV.

Nidec's three-year grant acceleration

Nidec SSB Wind Systems GMBH shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
