What this shows Nordhydraulic's Innovation Score is 28.0/100 (26th 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 Nordhydraulic?

Each dot is one of Nordhydraulic’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). Nordhydraulic’s own 10.8 claims/patent is at or below the 17.8 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Nordhydraulic's grants concentrate

Nordhydraulic AB is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under E02F (DREDGING; Soil-shifting). By volume, Nordhydraulic sits between Noogen LLC and North American Rescue, LLC.

Nordhydraulic's three-year grant acceleration

Nordhydraulic AB shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
