What this shows CM's Innovation Score is 41.4/100 (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 CM?

Each dot is one of CM’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). CM’s own 20.0 claims/patent is ABOVE the 13.0 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where CM's grants concentrate

CM Systems, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 50% of grants classified under G01K (Measuring TEMPERATURE; Measuring Quantity OF HEAT; Thermally-sensitive Elements NOT Otherwise Provided FOR). By volume, CM sits between Clicksoftware, Inc. and Cmmb Vision USA Inc..

CM's three-year grant acceleration

CM Systems, LLC shows 2 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.
