What this shows 12th's Innovation Score is 30.3/100 (34th percentile 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 12th's grants concentrate

12th Man Technologies, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 66.7% of grants classified under A61M (Devices FOR Introducing Media Into, OR Onto, THE Body ; Devices FOR Transducing Body Media OR FOR Taking Media From THE Body ; Devices FOR Producing OR Ending Sleep OR Stupor). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, 12th sits between xG Technology, Inc. and 1964 Ears, LLC.

12th's three-year grant acceleration

12th Man Technologies, Inc. shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
