What this shows Cummins's Innovation Score is 42.5/100 (top 30% 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 19.4 claims/patent is ABOVE the 13.4 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 Intellectual Property, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 20 CPC subclasses with 47.5% of grants classified under Y02T (Climate Change Mitigation Technologies Related TO Transportation). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (18 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Cummins sits between BreathableBaby, LLC and Cboe Exchange, Inc..

Cummins's three-year grant acceleration

Cummins Intellectual Property, Inc. shows 1 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.
