What this shows Leine's Innovation Score is 52.5/100 (top 10% 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 Leine?

Each dot is one of Leine’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). Leine’s own 18.6 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.7 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Leine's grants concentrate

Leine & Linde AB is a focused PatentsView assignee: 13 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under G01D (Measuring NOT Specially Adapted FOR A Specific VARIABLE; Arrangements FOR Measuring TWO OR More Variables NOT Covered IN A Single Other SUBCLASS; Tariff Metering APPARATUS; Measuring OR Testing NOT OT). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Leine sits between Latchable, Inc. and LIM Innovations, Inc..

Leine's three-year grant acceleration

Leine & Linde AB shows 4 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.
