What this shows Ningbo's Innovation Score is 30.5/100 (35th percentile 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 12.3 claims/patent is ABOVE the 2.3 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Ningbo's grants concentrate

Ningbo UMD Automatic Transmission Co. Ltd is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under F16H (Gearing). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Ningbo sits between Ningbo LET IT BE Arts AND Crafts Co., Ltd and Nishina Industrial Co., Ltd..

Ningbo's three-year grant acceleration

Ningbo UMD Automatic Transmission Co. Ltd shows 4 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.
