What this shows CMD's Innovation Score is 36.9/100 (top 45% 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 CMD?

Each dot is one of CMD’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). CMD’s own 13.0 claims/patent is ABOVE the 8.4 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where CMD's grants concentrate

CMD Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 15 CPC subclasses with 87% of grants classified under B31B (Making Containers OF Paper, Cardboard OR Material Worked IN A Manner Analogous TO Paper). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, CMD sits between Centre Hospitalier Universitaire DE Bordeaux and Consitex S.A..

CMD's three-year grant acceleration

CMD Corporation shows 6 grants in 2022–2024 against only 9 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.
