What this shows Ideol's Innovation Score is 32.1/100 (40th 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 Ideol's grants concentrate

IDEOL is a focused PatentsView assignee: 10 CPC subclasses with 83.3% of grants classified under B63B (Ships OR Other Waterborne VESSELS; Equipment FOR Shipping). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Ideol sits between ID-Fish Technology, Inc. and Igip, LLC.

Ideol's three-year grant acceleration

IDEOL shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
