What this shows Liconic'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 Liconic?

Each dot is one of Liconic’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). Liconic’s own 18.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.6 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Liconic's grants concentrate

Liconic AG is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 84.6% of grants classified under F25D (REFRIGERATORS; Cold ROOMS; ICE-BOXES; Cooling OR Freezing Apparatus NOT Otherwise Provided FOR). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Liconic sits between Lemonex Inc. and Lionhead Helmet Intellectual Properties, LP.

Liconic's three-year grant acceleration

Liconic AG shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
