What this shows Nutech's Innovation Score is 32.5/100 (41st 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 Nutech?

Each dot is one of Nutech’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). Nutech’s own 11.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 11.1 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Nutech's grants concentrate

NuTech Spine, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 42.9% of grants classified under A61F (Filters Implantable Into Blood VESSELS; PROSTHESES; Devices Providing Patency TO, OR Preventing Collapsing OF, Tubular Structures OF THE Body, e.g. STENTS; Orthopaedic, Nursing OR Contraceptive Device). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Nutech sits between Nokia Technology Oy and OAV Equipment AND Tools, Inc..

Nutech's three-year grant acceleration

NuTech Spine, Inc. shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
