What this shows Njoy's Innovation Score is 31.4/100 (38th 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 Njoy?

Each dot is one of Njoy’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). Njoy’s own 9.5 claims/patent is at or below the 10.3 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Njoy's grants concentrate

Njoy, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 10 CPC subclasses with 42.9% of grants classified under A24F (Smokers' REQUISITES; Match BOXES; Simulated Smoking Devices). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Njoy sits between Nine Stars Group, (USA) Inc and NPS Public Furniture Corp..

Njoy's three-year grant acceleration

Njoy, LLC 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.
