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.

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.
