What this shows Liberty's Innovation Score is 40.5/100 (top 35% 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 Liberty?

Each dot is one of Liberty’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). Liberty’s own 12.0 claims/patent is at or below the 18.2 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Liberty's grants concentrate

Liberty Pumps, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 12 CPC subclasses with 52.9% of grants classified under F04D (Non-positive-displacement Pumps). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Liberty sits between Lehigh Technologies, Inc. and Lumicell, Inc..

Liberty's three-year grant acceleration

Liberty Pumps, Inc. shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
