What this shows BIG's Innovation Score is 30.5/100 (35th percentile 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 BIG?

Each dot is one of BIG’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). BIG’s own 6.6 claims/patent is at or below the 12.1 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where BIG's grants concentrate

BIG Lift, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 13 CPC subclasses with 25% of grants classified under B66F (Hoisting, Lifting, Hauling OR Pushing, NOT Otherwise Provided FOR, e.g. Devices Which Apply A Lifting OR Pushing Force Directly TO THE Surface OF A Load). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (9 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, BIG sits between Art Design Works LLC and Belgravia Wood Limited.

BIG's three-year grant acceleration

BIG Lift, LLC shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 7 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.
