What this shows Second's Innovation Score is 44.7/100 (top 25% 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 Second's grants concentrate

Second Bridge Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 71.4% of grants classified under G01S (Radio DIRECTION-FINDING; Radio NAVIGATION; Determining Distance OR Velocity BY USE OF Radio WAVES; Locating OR Presence-detecting BY USE OF THE Reflection OR Reradiation OF Radio WAVES; Analogous Arra). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Second sits between SD3, LLC and Securrency, Inc..

Second's three-year grant acceleration

Second Bridge Inc. shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
