What this shows Utilization's Innovation Score is 51.0/100 (top 12% 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 Utilization's grants concentrate

Utilization Technology Development, NFP is a focused PatentsView assignee: 14 CPC subclasses with 33.3% of grants classified under D06F (Laundering, Drying, Ironing, Pressing OR Folding Textile Articles). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Utilization sits between Ushr Inc. and Ultrasonix Medical Corporation.

Utilization's three-year grant acceleration

Utilization Technology Development, NFP shows 3 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.
