What this shows Laird's Innovation Score is 36.1/100 (top 47% 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 Laird?

Each dot is one of Laird’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). Laird’s own 20.0 claims/patent is ABOVE the 12.8 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Laird's grants concentrate

Laird Thermal Systems Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under F25B (Refrigeration Machines, Plants OR SYSTEMS; Combined Heating AND Refrigeration SYSTEMS; Heat Pump Systems). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2023. By volume, Laird sits between La Montagne Verte and LandScan LLC.

Laird's three-year grant acceleration

Laird Thermal Systems Inc. shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
