What this shows Dish's Innovation Score is 72.8/100 (top 1% 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 Dish's grants concentrate

Dish Wireless L.L.C. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 36 CPC subclasses with 72.6% of grants classified under H04W (Wireless Communication Networks). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (93 grants) versus a trough of 5 in 2020. By volume, Dish sits between Rubrik, Inc. and Excalibur IP, LLC.

Dish's three-year grant acceleration

Dish Wireless L.L.C. shows 201 grants in 2022–2024 against only 19 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.
