What this shows Next's Innovation Score is 52.8/100 (top 10% 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 Next?

Each dot is one of Next’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). Next’s own 14.4 claims/patent is ABOVE the 13.5 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Next's grants concentrate

Next Carbon Solutions, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 16 CPC subclasses with 76.5% of grants classified under B01D (Separation). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (6 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2021. By volume, Next sits between Neuspera Medical Inc. and Ningbo Mentoriend International Trading Co., Ltd..

Next's three-year grant acceleration

Next Carbon Solutions, LLC shows 14 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.
