What this shows Next's Innovation Score is 52.3/100 (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 21.3 claims/patent is ABOVE the 16.0 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 Silicon Ltd is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under G06F (Electric Digital Data Processing). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (10 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2020. By volume, Next sits between Nagase ChemteX Corporation and Opko Biologics Ltd..

Next's three-year grant acceleration

Next Silicon Ltd shows 16 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
