What this shows Surveymonkey's Innovation Score is 35.6/100 (top 49% 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 Surveymonkey's grants concentrate

SurveyMonkey Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 66.7% of grants classified under G06F (Electric Digital Data Processing). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Surveymonkey sits between Sure-Fi, Inc. and Sutro Connect, Inc..

Surveymonkey's three-year grant acceleration

SurveyMonkey Inc. shows 2 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.
