What this shows Nomura's Innovation Score is 36.5/100 (top 46% 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.

Where Nomura's grants concentrate

Nomura Micro Science Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 10 CPC subclasses with 62.5% of grants classified under B01F (Mixing, e.g. Dissolving, Emulsifying OR Dispersing). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Nomura sits between Ningbo Geostar Photoelectric Technology Co., Ltd. and Northeast Normal University.

Nomura's three-year grant acceleration

Nomura Micro Science Co., Ltd. shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
