What this shows Cambridge's Innovation Score is 37.4/100 (top 44% 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.

Does more volume mean deeper claims for Cambridge?

Each dot is one of Cambridge’s 8 nearest volume peers (same corpus rank neighbourhood as the chart above), placed by total granted patents (horizontal) against average claims per patent (vertical). Cambridge’s own 21.1 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.1 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Cambridge's grants concentrate

Cambridge Consultants Limited is a focused PatentsView assignee: 15 CPC subclasses with 25% of grants classified under G06Q (Information AND Communication Technology [ICT] Specially Adapted FOR Administrative, Commercial, Financial, Managerial OR Supervisory PURPOSES; Systems OR Methods Specially Adapted FOR Administrative,). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Cambridge sits between C-motive Technologies, Inc. and Caremed Supply Inc..

Cambridge's three-year grant acceleration

Cambridge Consultants Limited shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 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.
