What this shows Norgren's Innovation Score is 42.5/100 (top 30% 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 14.8 claims/patent is at or below the 17.2 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Norgren's grants concentrate

Norgren Limited is a focused PatentsView assignee: 30 CPC subclasses with 41.9% of grants classified under Y10T (Technical Subjects Covered BY Former US Classification). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (12 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, Norgren sits between National University Corporation Kyoto Institute OF Technology and Oupiin ELECTRONIC(KUNSHAN) Co., Ltd.

Norgren's three-year grant acceleration

Norgren Limited shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 11 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.
