What this shows Cosmo's Innovation Score is 35.6/100 (top 49% 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 Cosmo?

Each dot is one of Cosmo’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). Cosmo’s own 9.5 claims/patent is at or below the 15.7 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Cosmo's grants concentrate

Cosmo Lighting Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 19 CPC subclasses with 69.2% of grants classified under F21S (Non-portable Lighting DEVICES; Systems THEREOF; Vehicle Lighting Devices Specially Adapted FOR Vehicle Exteriors). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, Cosmo sits between Cooper Standard GmbH and CrunchLabs LLC.

Cosmo's three-year grant acceleration

Cosmo Lighting Inc. shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
