Does more volume mean deeper claims for Ningbo?
Each dot is one of Ningbo’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). Ningbo’s own 1.0 claims/patent is at or below the 11.1 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.
Where Ningbo's grants concentrate
Ningbo Forward Plastic Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 0 CPC subclasses . Peak complete grant year is 2023 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, Ningbo sits between New Wave Endo-Surgical Corp. and NociMed, Inc..
Ningbo's three-year grant acceleration
Ningbo Forward Plastic Co., Ltd. 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.
