What this shows Larq's Innovation Score is 31.8/100 (39th 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 Larq?

Each dot is one of Larq’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). Larq’s own 12.4 claims/patent is at or below the 14.5 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Larq's grants concentrate

Larq, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 12 CPC subclasses with 53.8% of grants classified under C02F (Treatment OF Water, Waste Water, Sewage, OR Sludge). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2024. By volume, Larq sits between L.B. Foster Rail Technologies, Inc. and Leayun Technology Co., Ltd. OF Zhuhai.

Larq's three-year grant acceleration

Larq, Inc. shows 4 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.
