What this shows Nextivity's Innovation Score is 38.9/100 (top 40% 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 Nextivity?

Each dot is one of Nextivity’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). Nextivity’s own 14.5 claims/patent is ABOVE the 11.2 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Nextivity's grants concentrate

Nextivity, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 13 CPC subclasses with 81% of grants classified under H04W (Wireless Communication Networks). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2023. By volume, Nextivity sits between Nanthealth, Inc. and Orbotech Ltd..

Nextivity's three-year grant acceleration

Nextivity, Inc. shows 8 grants in 2022–2024 against only 12 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.
