What this shows Ningbo's Innovation Score is 26.4/100 (20th 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 8.0 claims/patent is at or below the 11.0 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 Xuli Metal Products Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 77.8% of grants classified under B60P (Vehicles Adapted FOR Load Transportation OR TO Transport, TO Carry, OR TO Comprise Special Loads OR Objects). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Ningbo sits between Ningbo Gude Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. and Nokia Siemens Networks GmbH & Co. KG.

Ningbo's three-year grant acceleration

Ningbo Xuli Metal Products Co., Ltd. shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
