What this shows Cimcon's Innovation Score is 41.7/100 (top 33% 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 Cimcon?

Each dot is one of Cimcon’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). Cimcon’s own 26.3 claims/patent is ABOVE the 11.7 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Cimcon's grants concentrate

Cimcon Lighting, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 19 CPC subclasses with 63.6% of grants classified under H05B (Electric HEATING; Electric Light Sources NOT Otherwise Provided FOR; Circuit Arrangements FOR Electric Light Sources, IN General). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Cimcon sits between Chery Automobile Co., Ltd. and Codonics, Inc..

Cimcon's three-year grant acceleration

Cimcon Lighting, Inc. shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
