What this shows State's Innovation Score is 46.9/100 (top 20% 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 State's grants concentrate

State Grid Shandong Electric Power Research Institute is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 33.3% of grants classified under G06F (Electric Digital Data Processing). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, State sits between Start Project, LLC and Steiner eOPTICS, Inc..

State's three-year grant acceleration

State Grid Shandong Electric Power Research Institute 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.
