What this shows Cyan's Innovation Score is 45.6/100 (top 23% 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 Cyan?

Each dot is one of Cyan’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). Cyan’s own 14.8 claims/patent is at or below the 14.8 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Cyan's grants concentrate

Cyan Systems is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 75% of grants classified under H04N (Pictorial Communication, e.g. Television). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Cyan sits between CoreSyte, Inc. and D3 Semiconductor LLC.

Cyan's three-year grant acceleration

Cyan Systems shows 7 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
