Methodology
Momentum is computed from 3-year CAGR: patent filings 2023–2025 vs 2020–2022. Accelerating = CAGR ≥ 15%. Growing = 5–14%. Stable = -4% to +4%. Declining = below -5%. Tier is based on total patent volume × momentum combined. Avg citations per patent measures impact density (quality signal).
