What this shows Smartbotics's Innovation Score is 37.1/100 (top 45% 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 Smartbotics's grants concentrate

Smartbotics, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under H05B (Electric HEATING; Electric Light Sources NOT Otherwise Provided FOR; Circuit Arrangements FOR Electric Light Sources, IN General). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Smartbotics sits between SM Instruments Co., Ltd. and SML Verwaltungs GMBH.

Smartbotics's three-year grant acceleration

Smartbotics, Inc. shows 2 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.
