What this shows Cercacor's Innovation Score is 43.5/100 (top 28% 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 Cercacor?

Each dot is one of Cercacor’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). Cercacor’s own 17.3 claims/patent is at or below the 18.1 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Cercacor's grants concentrate

Cercacor Laboratories, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 10 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; Identification). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (11 grants) versus a trough of 3 in 2018. By volume, Cercacor sits between Beijing BOE Chatani Electronics Co., Ltd. and Crane Payment Innovations, Inc..

Cercacor's three-year grant acceleration

Cercacor Laboratories, Inc. shows 16 grants in 2022–2024 against only 13 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.
