What this shows CHM's Innovation Score is 30.9/100 (36th percentile 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 CHM?

Each dot is one of CHM’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). CHM’s own 22.1 claims/patent is ABOVE the 9.3 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where CHM's grants concentrate

CHM Industries, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under F21S (Non-portable Lighting DEVICES; Systems THEREOF; Vehicle Lighting Devices Specially Adapted FOR Vehicle Exteriors). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, CHM sits between China Industries Limited and CHS Pharma Inc..

CHM's three-year grant acceleration

CHM Industries, Inc. shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
