What this shows smartpolymer's Innovation Score is 34.8/100 (49th percentile 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 smartpolymer's grants concentrate

smartpolymer GmbH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 18 CPC subclasses with 85.7% of grants classified under C08L (Compositions OF Macromolecular Compounds). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, smartpolymer sits between messageLOUD Inc. and Å&R Carton Lund Aktiebolag.

smartpolymer's three-year grant acceleration

smartpolymer GmbH shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
