What this shows Nimble's Innovation Score is 55.7/100 (top 7% 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 Nimble?

Each dot is one of Nimble’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). Nimble’s own 20.4 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.1 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Nimble's grants concentrate

Nimble Robotics, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 14 CPC subclasses with 94.4% of grants classified under B25J (MANIPULATORS; Chambers Provided With Manipulation Devices). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, Nimble sits between Netskrt Systems, Inc. and Nominum, Inc..

Nimble's three-year grant acceleration

Nimble Robotics, Inc. shows 10 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
