What this shows Relx's Innovation Score is 36.6/100 (top 46% 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 Relx?

Each dot is one of Relx’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). Relx’s own 19.2 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.3 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Relx's grants concentrate

Relx Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 96.8% of grants classified under G06F (Electric Digital Data Processing). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (8 grants) versus a trough of 3 in 2024. By volume, Relx sits between Qingdao Hisense Electronics Co., Ltd. and Ripple Luxembourg S.A..

Relx's three-year grant acceleration

Relx Inc. shows 12 grants in 2022–2024 against only 18 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.
