What this shows Cyalume's Innovation Score is 35.2/100 (top 50% 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 Cyalume?

Each dot is one of Cyalume’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). Cyalume’s own 16.6 claims/patent is at or below the 18.1 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Cyalume's grants concentrate

Cyalume Technologies, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 81.8% of grants classified under C09K (Materials FOR Miscellaneous Applications, NOT Provided FOR Elsewhere). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Cyalume sits between Cree Huizhou Solid State Lighting Company Limited and Daewoong Co., Ltd..

Cyalume's three-year grant acceleration

Cyalume Technologies, Inc. shows 3 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.
