Is Norcom's patent grant rate increasing or decreasing?

Insufficient historical data is available to calculate a velocity trend for Norcom.

What does claim depth mean for Norcom's patents?

Norcom's patents average 10.1 claims each. This is an aggregate descriptive count from the grant record; it does not establish claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk.

How is the Norcom patent data sourced?

All patent data comes from USPTO PatentsView, a public research dataset maintained by the United States Patent and Trademark Office covering US granted utility patents from 2015 to 2025.

What this shows Norcom's Innovation Score is 43.8/100 (top 27% 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 Norcom?

Each dot is one of Norcom’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). Norcom’s own 10.1 claims/patent is at or below the 10.9 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Norcom's grants concentrate

Norcom is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 84.6% of grants classified under H04W (Wireless Communication Networks). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (4 grants) versus a trough of 3 in 2021. By volume, Norcom sits between Nitto Shinko Corporation and NPL Management Limited.

Norcom's three-year grant acceleration

Norcom shows 10 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
