What this shows Northeast's Innovation Score is 48.3/100 (top 17% 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 7.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 7.1 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Northeast's grants concentrate

Northeast Petroleum University is a focused PatentsView assignee: 18 CPC subclasses with 54.5% of grants classified under G01N (Investigating OR Analysing Materials BY Determining Their Chemical OR Physical Properties). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, Northeast sits between Ningbo Dongchuan Swimming Pool Equipment Co., Inc. and Nuclera Nucleics Ltd..

Northeast's three-year grant acceleration

Northeast Petroleum University shows 9 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.
