What this shows NIO's Innovation Score is 68.7/100 (top 1% 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 10.1 claims/patent is at or below the 14.2 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

How NIO's grant cadence moved

Grant history spans 2022–2025. Across complete PatentsView years, output peaked in 2024 at 73 grants and bottomed in 2022 at 8. Lead class B60W accounts for 18.3% of the portfolio across 59 subclasses. Volume neighbours: Bridgelux, Inc. (#2,378) and Solvay SA (#2,386).

NIO's three-year grant acceleration

NIO Technology (ANHUI) Co., Ltd shows 121 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.
