What this shows Cognizant's Innovation Score is 46.5/100 (top 20% 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 Cognizant?

Each dot is one of Cognizant’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). Cognizant’s own 17.6 claims/patent is ABOVE the 7.3 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Cognizant's grants concentrate

Cognizant Technology Solutions U.S. Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 13 CPC subclasses with 83.3% of grants classified under G06N (Computing Arrangements Based ON Specific Computational Models). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (13 grants) versus a trough of 3 in 2019. By volume, Cognizant sits between Beijing Jiaotong University and Dejero Labs Inc..

Cognizant's three-year grant acceleration

Cognizant Technology Solutions U.S. Corporation shows 25 grants in 2022–2024 against only 17 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.
