What this shows North's Innovation Score is 32.1/100 (40th 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 North?

Each dot is one of North’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). North’s own 11.6 claims/patent is ABOVE the 10.0 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where North's grants concentrate

North American Wave Engine Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 87.5% of grants classified under F02C (Gas-turbine PLANTS; AIR Intakes FOR Jet-propulsion PLANTS; Controlling Fuel Supply IN Air-breathing Jet-propulsion Plants). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, North sits between Noram Engineering AND Constructors Ltd. and Nova Siri Genetics SRL.

North's three-year grant acceleration

North American Wave Engine Corporation shows 4 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.
