What this shows Cista's Innovation Score is 41.6/100 (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 Cista?

Each dot is one of Cista’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). Cista’s own 18.3 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.4 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Cista's grants concentrate

Cista System Corp. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 14 CPC subclasses with 85.7% of grants classified under H04N (Pictorial Communication, e.g. Television). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (5 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2024. By volume, Cista sits between Corvia Medical, Inc. and Conductix-Wampfler GmbH.

Cista's three-year grant acceleration

Cista System Corp. shows 9 grants in 2022–2024 against only 12 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.
