What this shows Cummins-allison's Innovation Score is 49.2/100 (top 15% 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 Cummins-allison's grants concentrate

Cummins-Allison Corp. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 91.5% of grants classified under G07D (Handling OF Coins OR Valuable Papers, e.g. Testing, Sorting BY Denominations, Counting, Dispensing, Changing OR Depositing). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (16 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2024. By volume, Cummins-allison sits between Conagra Foods RDM, Inc. and Electro Industries/Gauge Tech.

Cummins-allison's three-year grant acceleration

Cummins-Allison Corp. shows 10 grants in 2022–2024 against only 8 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.
