How Nissan’s 27.9 Innovation Score adds up
The same four weighted components behind every Innovation Score on PlainPatent: portfolio volume, grant velocity, technology breadth, and claim depth.

What this shows Nissan's Innovation Score is 27.9/100 (25th 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 Nissan?
Each dot is one of Nissan’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). Nissan’s own 13.4 claims/patent is ABOVE the 4.3 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.
Where Nissan's grants concentrate
Nissan Chemical America Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 3 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under C09K (Materials FOR Miscellaneous Applications, NOT Provided FOR Elsewhere). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Nissan sits between Nexark, Inc. and Onera (OFFICE National D'etudes ET DE Recherches AEROSPATIALES).
Nissan's three-year grant acceleration
Nissan Chemical America Corporation shows 6 grants in 2022–2024 against only 10 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.
