What this shows NHN's Innovation Score is 50.0/100 (top 14% 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.

Where NHN's grants concentrate

NHN Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 22 CPC subclasses with 65.1% of grants classified under G06F (Electric Digital Data Processing). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (19 grants) versus a trough of 3 in 2023. By volume, NHN sits between Leco Corporation and Tatsuta Electric Wire & Cable Co., Ltd..

NHN's three-year grant acceleration

NHN Corporation shows 19 grants in 2022–2024 against only 17 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.
