What this shows Nthdegree's Innovation Score is 55.5/100 (top 7% 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 Nthdegree?

Each dot is one of Nthdegree’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). Nthdegree’s own 22.4 claims/patent is ABOVE the 13.9 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

How Nthdegree's grant cadence moved

Between 2020–2024, NthDegree Technologies Worldwide Inc received 10 grants versus 79 in 2015–2019 (-87% equal-window velocity, below median growth). Across complete PatentsView years, output peaked in 2016 at 31 grants and bottomed in 2024 at 1. Lead class H01L accounts for 67.4% of the portfolio across 50 subclasses. Volume neighbours: McLaren Automotive Limited (#4,052) and Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute (#4,060).

Nthdegree's three-year grant acceleration

NthDegree Technologies Worldwide Inc shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 18 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.
