What this shows Cima's Innovation Score is 48.8/100 (top 16% 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 Cima?

Each dot is one of Cima’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). Cima’s own 11.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 10.6 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Cima's grants concentrate

Cima S.P.A. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 12 CPC subclasses with 64.3% of grants classified under G07D (Handling OF Coins OR Valuable Papers, e.g. Testing, Sorting BY Denominations, Counting, Dispensing, Changing OR Depositing). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Cima sits between Certoplast Technische Klebebaender GMBH and Clarke Mosquito Control Products, Inc..

Cima's three-year grant acceleration

Cima S.P.A. shows 8 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.
