Where Lexisnexis's grants concentrate

LexisNexis, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 97.6% of grants classified under G06F (Electric Digital Data Processing). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (11 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, Lexisnexis sits between Leister Technologies AG and MQ Gaming, LLC.

Lexisnexis's three-year grant acceleration

LexisNexis, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. shows 2 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.
