What this shows Norgren's Innovation Score is 38.7/100 (top 40% 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 Norgren?

Each dot is one of Norgren’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). Norgren’s own 15.1 claims/patent is ABOVE the 12.8 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Norgren's grants concentrate

Norgren Automation Solutions, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 19 CPC subclasses with 50% of grants classified under B25J (MANIPULATORS; Chambers Provided With Manipulation Devices). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2024. By volume, Norgren sits between Nanocomp Technologies Inc. and Oorym Optics Ltd..

Norgren's three-year grant acceleration

Norgren Automation Solutions, LLC shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 7 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.
