What this shows Cerion's Innovation Score is 36.9/100 (top 45% 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 Cerion's grants concentrate

Cerion, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 22 CPC subclasses with 66.7% of grants classified under C01P (Indexing Scheme Relating TO Structural AND Physical Aspects OF Solid Inorganic Compounds). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2023. By volume, Cerion sits between Cyngn, Inc. and CorTec GmbH.

Cerion's three-year grant acceleration

Cerion, LLC shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
