What this shows Coval's Innovation Score is 50.4/100 (top 13% 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 Coval's grants concentrate

COVAL is a focused PatentsView assignee: 16 CPC subclasses with 62.5% of grants classified under B25J (MANIPULATORS; Chambers Provided With Manipulation Devices). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Coval sits between Cosda Manufacturing Company and Creare LLC.

Coval's three-year grant acceleration

COVAL shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
