What this shows Ironridge's Innovation Score is 38.6/100 (top 40% 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 Ironridge's grants concentrate

IronRidge, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 14 CPC subclasses with 92.9% of grants classified under Y02E (Reduction OF Greenhouse GAS [GHG] Emissions, Related TO Energy Generation, Transmission OR Distribution). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (8 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Ironridge sits between Incase Designs Corp. and K-fee System GMBH.

Ironridge's three-year grant acceleration

IronRidge, Inc. shows 10 grants in 2022–2024 against only 16 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.
