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 14.9 claims/patent is at or below the 17.2 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

How Ningbo's grant cadence moved

Grant history spans 2024–2025. Lead class B60R accounts for 16.7% of the portfolio across 66 subclasses. Volume neighbours: Mobius Imaging, LLC (#5,232) and Photonics Electronics Technology Research Association (#5,240).

Ningbo's three-year grant acceleration

Ningbo Geely Automobile Research & Dev. Co., Ltd. shows 43 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
