What this shows Cobalt's Innovation Score is 44.2/100 (top 26% 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 Cobalt?

Each dot is one of Cobalt’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). Cobalt’s own 17.0 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 Cobalt's grants concentrate

Cobalt Robotics Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 18 CPC subclasses with 78.3% of grants classified under G05D (Systems FOR Controlling OR Regulating Non-electric Variables). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Cobalt sits between Chen-source Inc. and Cranial Technologies, Inc..

Cobalt's three-year grant acceleration

Cobalt Robotics Inc. shows 12 grants in 2022–2024 against only 10 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.
