What this shows Cummins's Innovation Score is 40.1/100 (top 36% 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 7.0 claims/patent is at or below the 17.0 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Cummins's grants concentrate

Cummins Generator Technologies Limited is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 35.1% of grants classified under H02K (Dynamo-electric Machines). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (11 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2017. By volume, Cummins sits between Consumer Safety Technology, LLC and Deca Technologies Inc..

Cummins's three-year grant acceleration

Cummins Generator Technologies Limited shows 21 grants in 2022–2024 against only 10 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.
