What this shows Golight's Innovation Score is 33.2/100 (44th 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 Golight?

Each dot is one of Golight’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). Golight’s own 7.6 claims/patent is at or below the 7.9 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Golight's grants concentrate

Golight, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 12 CPC subclasses with 37.5% of grants classified under F21V (Functional Features OR Details OF Lighting Devices OR Systems THEREOF; Structural Combinations OF Lighting Devices With Other Articles, NOT Otherwise Provided FOR). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Golight sits between Gliknik Inc. and Green Products & Technologies, LLC.

Golight's three-year grant acceleration

Golight, Inc. shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
