What this shows Certainteed's Innovation Score is 49.8/100 (top 14% 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 Certainteed's grants concentrate

CertainTeed Gypsum, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 29 CPC subclasses with 57.7% of grants classified under E04C (Structural ELEMENTS; Building Materials). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (9 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Certainteed sits between Chyng Hong Electronic Co., Ltd. and Direct Pack, Inc..

Certainteed's three-year grant acceleration

CertainTeed Gypsum, Inc. shows 19 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.
