What this shows Lavelle's Innovation Score is 27.3/100 (23rd 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 Lavelle?

Each dot is one of Lavelle’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). Lavelle’s own 10.1 claims/patent is at or below the 13.4 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Lavelle's grants concentrate

Lavelle Industries, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 61.9% of grants classified under E03D (Water-closets OR Urinals With Flushing DEVICES; Flushing Valves Therefor). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Lavelle sits between Leica Mikrosysteme GMBH and LocatorX, Inc..

Lavelle's three-year grant acceleration

Lavelle Industries, Inc. shows 2 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.
