What this shows Cambridge's Innovation Score is 63.6/100 (top 2% 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 19.6 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.2 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 Mechatronics Limited is a focused PatentsView assignee: 24 CPC subclasses with 80.6% of grants classified under F03G (Spring, Weight, Inertia OR Like MOTORS; Mechanical-power Producing Devices OR Mechanisms, NOT Otherwise Provided FOR OR Using Energy Sources NOT Otherwise Provided FOR). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (12 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Cambridge sits between Ancestry.com Operations Inc. and China Medical University.

Cambridge's three-year grant acceleration

Cambridge Mechatronics Limited shows 31 grants in 2022–2024 against only 10 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.
