What this shows Boyd's Innovation Score is 19.8/100 (6th 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 Boyd?

Each dot is one of Boyd’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). Boyd’s own 6.7 claims/patent is at or below the 11.9 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Boyd's grants concentrate

Boyd Lighting Fixture Company is a focused PatentsView assignee: 3 CPC subclasses with 16.7% of grants classified under F21S (Non-portable Lighting DEVICES; Systems THEREOF; Vehicle Lighting Devices Specially Adapted FOR Vehicle Exteriors). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Boyd sits between Bontac BIO-ENGINEERING(SHENZHEN) Co., Ltd. and BS Systems GmbH & Co. KG.

Boyd's three-year grant acceleration

Boyd Lighting Fixture Company shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 8 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.
