What this shows CP's Innovation Score is 40.5/100 (top 35% 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 CP?

Each dot is one of CP’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). CP’s own 23.5 claims/patent is ABOVE the 16.8 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where CP's grants concentrate

CP Kelco ApS is a focused PatentsView assignee: 15 CPC subclasses with 70% of grants classified under C08B (POLYSACCHARIDES; Derivatives Thereof). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, CP sits between Corning Gilbert, Inc. and Creatv Microtech, Inc..

CP's three-year grant acceleration

CP Kelco ApS shows 2 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.
