What this shows GI's Innovation Score is 31.2/100 (37th percentile 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 GI's grants concentrate

GI Supply is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 55.6% of grants classified under A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; Identification). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, GI sits between George TFE SCP and Give AND GO Prepared Foods Corp..

GI's three-year grant acceleration

GI Supply shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
