What this shows Ningbo's Innovation Score is 42.7/100 (top 30% 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 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 15.0 claims/patent is ABOVE the 13.0 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.
