What this shows Thermal's Innovation Score is 34.6/100 (48th 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 Thermal's grants concentrate

Thermal Power Recovery LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under F01L (Cyclically Operating Valves FOR Machines OR Engines). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Thermal sits between THE Yacht Group, LLC and Thinklogical, LLC.

Thermal's three-year grant acceleration

Thermal Power Recovery LLC shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
