What this shows NLX's Innovation Score is 49.2/100 (top 15% 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 NLX's grants concentrate

NLX Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 60% of grants classified under G06F (Electric Digital Data Processing). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, NLX sits between Nitto Bend Technologies, Inc. and Nobotgames, Inc..

NLX's three-year grant acceleration

NLX Inc. shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
