What this shows Rheem's Innovation Score is 45.6/100 (top 23% 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 Rheem's grants concentrate

Rheem Australia PTY Limited is a focused PatentsView assignee: 24 CPC subclasses with 94.4% of grants classified under F24H (Fluid Heaters, e.g. Water OR AIR Heaters, Having Heat-generating Means, e.g. Heat Pumps, IN General). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Rheem sits between Recovery Force, LLC and Roof Systems Germany GmbH.

Rheem's three-year grant acceleration

Rheem Australia PTY Limited shows 8 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 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.
