What this shows CFT's Innovation Score is 36.3/100 (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 CFT?

Each dot is one of CFT’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). CFT’s own 7.6 claims/patent is at or below the 17.8 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where CFT's grants concentrate

CFT S.P.A. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 12 CPC subclasses with 40% of grants classified under A23L (Foods, Foodstuffs OR Non-alcoholic Beverages, NOT Otherwise Provided FOR; Preparation OR Treatment Thereof). By volume, CFT sits between Cesca Therapeutics, Inc. and Chacha Search, Inc..

CFT's three-year grant acceleration

CFT S.P.A. shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
