What this shows NKT's Innovation Score is 33.1/100 (43rd 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 NKT?

Each dot is one of NKT’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). NKT’s own 21.4 claims/patent is ABOVE the 11.6 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where NKT's grants concentrate

NKT Cables Group A/S is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 77.8% of grants classified under H01B (CABLES; CONDUCTORS; INSULATORS; Selection OF Materials FOR Their Conductive, Insulating OR Dielectric Properties). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, NKT sits between Nippon Paint Marine Coatings Co., Ltd. and Noster Inc..

NKT's three-year grant acceleration

NKT Cables Group A/S shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
