What this shows Lavalley's Innovation Score is 37.6/100 (top 43% 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 Lavalley?

Each dot is one of Lavalley’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). Lavalley’s own 13.6 claims/patent is at or below the 13.7 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Lavalley's grants concentrate

LaValley Industries, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 14 CPC subclasses with 55% of grants classified under E21B (Earth OR Rock DRILLING; Obtaining OIL, GAS, Water, Soluble OR Meltable Materials OR A Slurry OF Minerals From Wells). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Lavalley sits between Libo Cosmetics Co., Ltd. and LuminAID LAB, LLC.

Lavalley's three-year grant acceleration

LaValley Industries, LLC shows 6 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.
