What this shows Cradlepoint's Innovation Score is 38.8/100 (top 40% 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 Cradlepoint?

Each dot is one of Cradlepoint’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). Cradlepoint’s own 30.4 claims/patent is ABOVE the 11.0 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Cradlepoint's grants concentrate

Cradlepoint, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 97.2% of grants classified under H04L (Transmission OF Digital Information, e.g. Telegraphic Communication). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Cradlepoint sits between Chong KUN Dang Pharmaceutical Corp. and Ceterix Orthopaedics, Inc..

Cradlepoint's three-year grant acceleration

Cradlepoint, Inc. shows 6 grants in 2022–2024 against only 15 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.
