What this shows NSI's Innovation Score is 26.5/100 (20th 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 NSI?

Each dot is one of NSI’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). NSI’s own 4.4 claims/patent is at or below the 17.6 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where NSI's grants concentrate

NSI International, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 10 CPC subclasses with 21.4% of grants classified under A63B (Apparatus FOR Physical Training, Gymnastics, Swimming, Climbing, OR FENCING; Ball GAMES; Training Equipment). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, NSI sits between Novasolix, Inc. and Nalpropion Pharmaceuticals LLC.

NSI's three-year grant acceleration

NSI International, Inc. shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 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.
