What this shows MAG's Innovation Score is 37.6/100 (top 43% 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 MAG's grants concentrate

MAG Instrument, Inc is a focused PatentsView assignee: 21 CPC subclasses with 91.4% of grants classified under F21L (Lighting Devices OR Systems Thereof, Being Portable OR Specially Adapted FOR Transportation). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (16 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, MAG sits between Lutronic Corporation and Nortek Security & Control.

MAG's three-year grant acceleration

MAG Instrument, Inc shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 10 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.
