What this shows Kwesst's Innovation Score is 30.9/100 (36th 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 Kwesst's grants concentrate

Kwesst Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 60% of grants classified under H04L (Transmission OF Digital Information, e.g. Telegraphic Communication). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2023. By volume, Kwesst sits between Kurray Co., Ltd. and Kyoto Tool Co., Ltd..

Kwesst's three-year grant acceleration

Kwesst Inc. shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
