What this shows Cleveland's Innovation Score is 31.9/100 (39th percentile 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 Cleveland?

Each dot is one of Cleveland’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). Cleveland’s own 12.2 claims/patent is at or below the 13.3 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Cleveland's grants concentrate

Cleveland Electric Laboratories is a focused PatentsView assignee: 10 CPC subclasses with 33.3% of grants classified under G01L (Measuring Force, Stress, Torque, Work, Mechanical Power, Mechanical Efficiency, OR Fluid Pressure). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Cleveland sits between CL Schutzrechtsverwaltungs GMBH and Cloudbrink Inc..

Cleveland's three-year grant acceleration

Cleveland Electric Laboratories shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
