What this shows Build's Innovation Score is 44.0/100 (top 27% 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 Build?

Each dot is one of Build’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). Build’s own 17.4 claims/patent is at or below the 19.4 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Build's grants concentrate

Build IP LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 12 CPC subclasses with 92.9% of grants classified under E04B (General Building CONSTRUCTIONS; Walls, e.g. PARTITIONS; ROOFS; FLOORS; CEILINGS; Insulation OR Other Protection OF Buildings). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, Build sits between BroadPak Corporation and C Series Aircraft Limited Partnership.

Build's three-year grant acceleration

Build IP LLC shows 9 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
