What this shows NUC's Innovation Score is 34.1/100 (47th 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 NUC?

Each dot is one of NUC’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). NUC’s own 6.3 claims/patent is at or below the 12.6 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where NUC's grants concentrate

NUC Electronics Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 44% of grants classified under A47J (Kitchen EQUIPMENT; Coffee MILLS; Spice MILLS; Apparatus FOR Making Beverages). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (9 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2022. By volume, NUC sits between Montage Technology, Inc. and Northrop Grumman Innovation Systems, Inc..

NUC's three-year grant acceleration

NUC Electronics Co., Ltd. shows 9 grants in 2022–2024 against only 12 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.
