What this shows JLG's Innovation Score is 42.0/100 (top 32% 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 JLG?

Each dot is one of JLG’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). JLG’s own 12.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 9.8 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where JLG's grants concentrate

JLG Industries, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 18 CPC subclasses with 92.9% 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 2015 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, JLG sits between Intergraph Corporation and Karl Storz Endovision, Inc..

JLG's three-year grant acceleration

JLG Industries, Inc. shows 8 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.
