What this shows 138's Innovation Score is 36.6/100 (top 46% 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 138?

Each dot is one of 138’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). 138’s own 27.2 claims/patent is ABOVE the 13.1 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where 138's grants concentrate

138 East LCD Advancements Limited is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 53.3% of grants classified under G02F (Optical Devices OR Arrangements FOR THE Control OF Light BY Modification OF THE Optical Properties OF THE Media OF THE Elements Involved THEREIN; Non-linear OPTICS; Frequency-changing OF LIGHT; Optica). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, 138 sits between aeris GmbH and A&C Future Inc..

138's three-year grant acceleration

138 East LCD Advancements Limited shows 5 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.
