What this shows Lake's Innovation Score is 38.4/100 (top 41% 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 Lake?

Each dot is one of Lake’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). Lake’s own 18.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.1 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Lake's grants concentrate

Lake Products Limited is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 57.1% of grants classified under F16L (PIPES; Joints OR Fittings FOR PIPES; Supports FOR Pipes, Cables OR Protective TUBING; Means FOR Thermal Insulation IN General). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Lake sits between Kocher-plastik Maschinenbau GMBH and Leybold GmBH.

Lake's three-year grant acceleration

Lake Products Limited shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 9 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.
