What this shows Novus's Innovation Score is 41.9/100 (top 32% 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 Novus?

Each dot is one of Novus’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). Novus’s own 20.0 claims/patent is ABOVE the 17.0 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Novus's grants concentrate

Novus International, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 22 CPC subclasses with 58.1% of grants classified under A23K (Fodder). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, Novus sits between NewLeaf Symbiotics, Inc. and Organovo, Inc..

Novus's three-year grant acceleration

Novus International, Inc. shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 10 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.
