What this shows Cigna's Innovation Score is 57.9/100 (top 5% 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 Cigna?

Each dot is one of Cigna’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). Cigna’s own 17.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 12.9 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Cigna's grants concentrate

Cigna Intellectual Property, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 13 CPC subclasses with 78.5% of grants classified under G06F (Electric Digital Data Processing). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (19 grants) versus a trough of 3 in 2018. By volume, Cigna sits between Blue Origin, LLC and Darex, LLC.

Cigna's three-year grant acceleration

Cigna Intellectual Property, Inc. shows 49 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.
