What this shows CFS's Innovation Score is 47.5/100 (top 19% 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 CFS's grants concentrate

CFS Concrete Forming Systems Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 12 CPC subclasses with 77.4% of grants classified under E04G (SCAFFOLDING; FORMS; SHUTTERING; Building Implements OR Aids, OR Their USE; Handling Building Materials ON THE SITE; Repairing, Breaking-up OR Other Work ON Existing Buildings). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (6 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2019. By volume, CFS sits between Capacitor Sciences Incorporated and Cold Chain Technologies, LLC.

CFS's three-year grant acceleration

CFS Concrete Forming Systems Inc. shows 8 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.
