What this shows Nutrition's Innovation Score is 29.7/100 (32nd 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 Nutrition?

Each dot is one of Nutrition’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). Nutrition’s own 11.7 claims/patent is at or below the 11.8 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Nutrition's grants concentrate

Nutrition Sciences N.V. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under A23K (Fodder). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Nutrition sits between Nucelis LLC and Nabholz Construction Corporation.

Nutrition's three-year grant acceleration

Nutrition Sciences N.V. 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.
