What this shows Next's Innovation Score is 33.7/100 (45th 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 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 at or below the 16.4 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Next's grants concentrate

Next Generation Recyclingmaschinen GmbH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 10 CPC subclasses with 71.4% of grants classified under B29B (Preparation OR Pretreatment OF THE Material TO BE SHAPED; Making Granules OR PREFORMS; Recovery OF Plastics OR Other Constituents OF Waste Material Containing Plastics). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Next sits between New Widetech Industries Co., Ltd. and Nextel Communications, Inc..

Next's three-year grant acceleration

Next Generation Recyclingmaschinen GmbH 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.
