What this shows Nova's Innovation Score is 31.3/100 (37th 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 Nova?

Each dot is one of Nova’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). Nova’s own 14.0 claims/patent is ABOVE the 12.2 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Nova's grants concentrate

Nova Wildcat Shur-Line, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 60% of grants classified under B05C (Apparatus FOR Applying Fluent Materials TO Surfaces, IN General). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Nova sits between North Star Technology International Limited and Nu Mark Innovations Ltd..

Nova's three-year grant acceleration

Nova Wildcat Shur-Line, LLC shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
