What this shows Humax's Innovation Score is 47.6/100 (top 18% 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.

Where Humax's grants concentrate

Humax Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 15 CPC subclasses with 84.7% of grants classified under H04N (Pictorial Communication, e.g. Television). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (20 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, Humax sits between FU Ding Electronical Technology (JIASHAN) Co., Ltd. and Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S.A., Inc..

Humax's three-year grant acceleration

Humax Co., Ltd. shows 12 grants in 2022–2024 against only 7 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.
