What this shows Earth's Innovation Score is 35.7/100 (top 49% 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 Earth's grants concentrate

Earth Science Laboratories, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 90.9% of grants classified under C02F (Treatment OF Water, Waste Water, Sewage, OR Sludge). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Earth sits between Extron Company and Ecolean AB.

Earth's three-year grant acceleration

Earth Science Laboratories, Inc. shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
