What this shows Nihon's Innovation Score is 40.4/100 (top 36% 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.

Where Nihon's grants concentrate

Nihon Medi-physics Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 22 CPC subclasses with 68.8% of grants classified under A61K (Preparations FOR Medical, Dental OR Toiletry Purposes). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (6 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2020. By volume, Nihon sits between Midrex Technologies, Inc. and Novares France.

Nihon's three-year grant acceleration

Nihon Medi-physics Co., Ltd. shows 8 grants in 2022–2024 against only 10 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.
