What this shows CDE's Innovation Score is 40.2/100 (top 36% 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 CDE?

Each dot is one of CDE’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). CDE’s own 14.7 claims/patent is ABOVE the 10.7 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where CDE's grants concentrate

CDE Global Limited is a focused PatentsView assignee: 16 CPC subclasses with 66.7% of grants classified under B07B (Separating Solids From Solids BY Sieving, Screening, Sifting OR BY Using GAS CURRENTS; Separating BY Other DRY Methods Applicable TO Bulk Material, e.g. Loose Articles FIT TO BE Handled Like Bulk Mate). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (8 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, CDE sits between Busch Systems International Inc. and Chaoyang Semiconductor Jiangyin Technology Co., Ltd..

CDE's three-year grant acceleration

CDE Global Limited shows 6 grants in 2022–2024 against only 7 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.
