What this shows North's Innovation Score is 42.2/100 (top 31% 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 7.3 claims/patent is at or below the 12.0 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.
Where North's grants concentrate
North China Municipal Engineering Design & Research Institute Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 42.9% of grants classified under C02F (Treatment OF Water, Waste Water, Sewage, OR Sludge). By volume, North sits between Nomadd Desert Solar Solutions and Nova Lumos Ltd..
North's three-year grant acceleration
North China Municipal Engineering Design & Research Institute Co., Ltd. shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
