What this shows Noke's Innovation Score is 28.7/100 (28th 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 Noke?

Each dot is one of Noke’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). Noke’s own 17.7 claims/patent is ABOVE the 17.2 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Noke's grants concentrate

Noke, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under G07C (Time OR Attendance REGISTERS; Registering OR Indicating THE Working OF MACHINES; Generating Random NUMBERS; Voting OR Lottery APPARATUS; Arrangements, Systems OR Apparatus FOR Checking NOT Provided FO). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Noke sits between Nmetric, LLC and Novastep.

Noke's three-year grant acceleration

Noke, Inc. shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 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.
