What this shows 3D's Innovation Score is 30.6/100 (35th 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 3D's grants concentrate

3D Medical is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 77.8% of grants classified under H04N (Pictorial Communication, e.g. Television). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, 3D sits between 3-V Biosciences, Inc. and 4D Intellectual Properties, LLC.

3D's three-year grant acceleration

3D Medical shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 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.
