What this shows NIO's Innovation Score is 36.8/100 (top 45% 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 NIO?

Each dot is one of NIO’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). NIO’s own 11.3 claims/patent is at or below the 15.1 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where NIO's grants concentrate

NIO (ANHUI) Holding Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 22 CPC subclasses with 45% of grants classified under B60L (Propulsion OF Electrically-propelled Vehicles ; Supplying Electric Power FOR Auxiliary Equipment OF Electrically-propelled Vehicles ; Electrodynamic Brake Systems FOR Vehicles IN General ; Magnetic SU). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (14 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2023. By volume, NIO sits between Nano-c, Inc. and National Institute Of Technology.

NIO's three-year grant acceleration

NIO (ANHUI) Holding Co., Ltd. shows 6 grants in 2022–2024 against only 14 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.
