What this shows Cummins's Innovation Score is 48.6/100 (top 16% 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 Cummins?

Each dot is one of Cummins’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). Cummins’s own 15.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.6 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Cummins's grants concentrate

Cummins Filtration Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 81.3% of grants classified under B01D (Separation). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Cummins sits between Crary Industries, Inc. and Deinove.

Cummins's three-year grant acceleration

Cummins Filtration Inc. shows 10 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
