What this shows Cardinal's Innovation Score is 46.8/100 (top 20% 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 Cardinal?

Each dot is one of Cardinal’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). Cardinal’s own 23.3 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.8 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Cardinal's grants concentrate

Cardinal CG Company is a focused PatentsView assignee: 21 CPC subclasses with 65.3% of grants classified under E06B (Fixed OR Movable Closures FOR Openings IN Buildings, Vehicles, Fences OR Like Enclosures IN General, e.g. Doors, Windows, Blinds, Gates). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (11 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2023. By volume, Cardinal sits between Bromium, Inc. and Corbett Lair Inc..

Cardinal's three-year grant acceleration

Cardinal CG Company shows 7 grants in 2022–2024 against only 15 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.
