What this shows Burley's Innovation Score is 32.3/100 (41st 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 Burley?

Each dot is one of Burley’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). Burley’s own 23.3 claims/patent is ABOVE the 11.3 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Burley's grants concentrate

Burley Design LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 88.9% of grants classified under B62K (CYCLES; Cycle FRAMES; Cycle Steering DEVICES; Rider-operated Terminal Controls Specially Adapted FOR CYCLES; Cycle Axle SUSPENSIONS; Cycle Side-cars, Forecars, OR THE Like). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Burley sits between Buff and Shine Mfg. Inc and C2Sense, Inc..

Burley's three-year grant acceleration

Burley Design 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.
