What this shows Nitoms's Innovation Score is 29.1/100 (29th 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 Nitoms?

Each dot is one of Nitoms’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). Nitoms’s own 8.4 claims/patent is at or below the 13.5 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Nitoms's grants concentrate

Nitoms, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 55.6% of grants classified under A47L (Domestic Washing OR Cleaning ; Suction Cleaners IN General). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Nitoms sits between Ningbo Weie Electronics Technology Ltd. and NYX, Inc..

Nitoms's three-year grant acceleration

Nitoms, Inc. shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 7 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.
