What this shows Color's Innovation Score is 38.1/100 (top 42% 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 Color's grants concentrate

Color Butler, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 2 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under G06N (Computing Arrangements Based ON Specific Computational Models). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, Color sits between Cody Laboratories, Inc. and Commando Pressure Control, Inc..

Color's three-year grant acceleration

Color Butler, Inc. shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
