What this shows Concept's Innovation Score is 34.8/100 (top 51% 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 Concept's grants concentrate

Concept Group Llc is a focused PatentsView assignee: 12 CPC subclasses with 45.5% of grants classified under A47J (KITCHEN EQUIPMENT; COFFEE MILLS; SPICE MILLS; APPARATUS FOR MAKING BEVERAGES). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Concept sits between Common Sensing Inc. and Continuum Dynamics, Inc..

Concept's three-year grant acceleration

Concept Group Llc shows 3 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.
