What this shows Cirrus's Innovation Score is 47.4/100 (top 19% 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 Cirrus?

Each dot is one of Cirrus’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). Cirrus’s own 23.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.5 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Cirrus's grants concentrate

Cirrus Logic International Semiconductor Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 26 CPC subclasses with 51.2% of grants classified under H04R (Loudspeakers, Microphones, Gramophone Pick-ups OR Like Acoustic Electromechanical TRANSDUCERS; Deaf-aid SETS; Public Address Systems). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (16 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2024. By volume, Cirrus sits between Canon Virginia, Inc. and Constellation Designs, LLC.

Cirrus's three-year grant acceleration

Cirrus Logic International Semiconductor Ltd. shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
