What this shows Kongsberg's Innovation Score is 31.5/100 (38th 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 Kongsberg's grants concentrate

Kongsberg Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 10 CPC subclasses with 28.6% of grants classified under G01R (Measuring Electric VARIABLES; Measuring Magnetic Variables). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Kongsberg sits between Knoze Jr. Corporation and Kronotec AG.

Kongsberg's three-year grant acceleration

Kongsberg Inc. shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
