What this shows LB's Innovation Score is 36.0/100 (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 LB?

Each dot is one of LB’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). LB’s own 5.3 claims/patent is at or below the 13.2 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where LB's grants concentrate

LB Europe Limited is a focused PatentsView assignee: 3 CPC subclasses with 33.3% of grants classified under B67D (Dispensing, Delivering OR Transferring Liquids, NOT Otherwise Provided FOR). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (4 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2023. By volume, LB sits between Lateral Solutions, Inc. and LC Therapeutics Inc..

LB's three-year grant acceleration

LB Europe Limited shows 6 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
