What this shows Cardo's Innovation Score is 31.0/100 (36th percentile 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 Cardo?

Each dot is one of Cardo’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). Cardo’s own 11.1 claims/patent is at or below the 16.1 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Cardo's grants concentrate

Cardo Systems, Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 42.9% of grants classified under A42B (HATS; Head Coverings). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Cardo sits between Canvas Construction, Inc. and Cavnue Technology, LLC.

Cardo's three-year grant acceleration

Cardo Systems, Ltd. shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
