What this shows Cytec's Innovation Score is 46.7/100 (top 20% 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 Cytec's grants concentrate

Cytec Technology Corp. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 41 CPC subclasses with 43.5% of grants classified under C08L (Compositions OF Macromolecular Compounds). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (12 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, Cytec sits between Canon Components, Inc. and Chipone Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd..

Cytec's three-year grant acceleration

Cytec Technology Corp. 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.
