What this shows Progress's Innovation Score is 46.3/100 (top 21% 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 Progress's grants concentrate

Progress Software Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 82.4% of grants classified under G06F (Electric Digital Data Processing). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (11 grants) versus a trough of 3 in 2015. By volume, Progress sits between Ningbo University and Rohinni, Inc..

Progress's three-year grant acceleration

Progress Software Corporation shows 29 grants in 2022–2024 against only 17 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.
