What this shows Cochrane's Innovation Score is 29.0/100 (29th 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 Cochrane?

Each dot is one of Cochrane’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). Cochrane’s own 3.3 claims/patent is at or below the 11.5 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Cochrane's grants concentrate

Cochrane USA Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 21.1% of grants classified under E04H (Buildings OR Like Structures FOR Particular PURPOSES; Swimming OR Splash Baths OR POOLS; MASTS; FENCING; Tents OR Canopies, IN General). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Cochrane sits between Chuo Hatsujo Kabushiki Kaisha and Cpsi Holdings LLC.

Cochrane's three-year grant acceleration

Cochrane USA Inc. shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
