What this shows Cedes's Innovation Score is 37.4/100 (top 44% 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 Cedes?

Each dot is one of Cedes’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). Cedes’s own 13.6 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 Cedes's grants concentrate

Cedes AG is a focused PatentsView assignee: 19 CPC subclasses with 60.7% of grants classified under B66B (ELEVATORS; Escalators OR Moving Walkways). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, Cedes sits between Brose Schliessysteme GmbH & Co. KG and Contech Engineered Solutions LLC.

Cedes's three-year grant acceleration

Cedes AG shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 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.
