What this shows NSD's Innovation Score is 27.9/100 (25th 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 NSD?

Each dot is one of NSD’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). NSD’s own 15.3 claims/patent is ABOVE the 12.6 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where NSD's grants concentrate

NSD Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 71.4% of grants classified under D05B (Sewing). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, NSD sits between Novarc Technologies Inc. and Numeri Ltd..

NSD's three-year grant acceleration

NSD Corporation shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
