What this shows CDE's Innovation Score is 40.2/100 (top 36% 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 CDE's grants concentrate

CDE Global Limited is a focused PatentsView assignee: 16 CPC subclasses with 66.7% of grants classified under B07B (Separating Solids From Solids BY Sieving, Screening, Sifting OR BY Using GAS CURRENTS; Separating BY Other DRY Methods Applicable TO Bulk Material, e.g. Loose Articles FIT TO BE Handled Like Bulk Mate). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (8 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, CDE sits between Busch Systems International Inc. and Chaoyang Semiconductor Jiangyin Technology Co., Ltd..

CDE's three-year grant acceleration

CDE Global Limited shows 6 grants in 2022–2024 against only 7 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.
