What this shows CB's Innovation Score is 29.7/100 (32nd 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 CB?

Each dot is one of CB’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). CB’s own 6.8 claims/patent is at or below the 16.9 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where CB's grants concentrate

CB Innovations, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 50% of grants classified under A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; Identification). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, CB sits between Carl Mahr Holding GMBH and Central Michigan University.

CB's three-year grant acceleration

CB Innovations, LLC shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 8 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.
