What this shows Northeast's Innovation Score is 46.2/100 (top 21% 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 Northeast?

Each dot is one of Northeast’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). Northeast’s own 6.9 claims/patent is at or below the 18.7 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Northeast's grants concentrate

Northeast Electric Power University is a focused PatentsView assignee: 16 CPC subclasses with 55.6% of grants classified under Y02E (Reduction OF Greenhouse GAS [GHG] Emissions, Related TO Energy Generation, Transmission OR Distribution). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, Northeast sits between Nobell Foods, Inc. and Nylok LLC.

Northeast's three-year grant acceleration

Northeast Electric Power University shows 7 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
