What this shows Cell's Innovation Score is 36.4/100 (top 47% 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 Cell?

Each dot is one of Cell’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). Cell’s own 14.7 claims/patent is at or below the 18.0 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Cell's grants concentrate

Cell Signaling Technology, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 10 CPC subclasses with 78.8% of grants classified under G01N (Investigating OR Analysing Materials BY Determining Their Chemical OR Physical Properties). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2023. By volume, Cell sits between Brooks Sports, Inc. and Crrc Qingdao Sifang Rolling Stock Research Institute Co., Ltd..

Cell's three-year grant acceleration

Cell Signaling Technology, Inc. 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.
