What this shows Liftra's Innovation Score is 38.7/100 (top 40% 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 Liftra?

Each dot is one of Liftra’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). Liftra’s own 12.7 claims/patent is ABOVE the 11.6 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Liftra's grants concentrate

Liftra IP APS is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under F03D (Wind Motors). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Liftra sits between Lexicon Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Luminescence Technology Corp..

Liftra's three-year grant acceleration

Liftra IP APS shows 7 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
