What this shows Liftwave's Innovation Score is 52.1/100 (top 11% 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 Liftwave?

Each dot is one of Liftwave’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). Liftwave’s own 14.4 claims/patent is ABOVE the 11.4 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Liftwave's grants concentrate

Liftwave, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 15 CPC subclasses with 75% of grants classified under F16H (Gearing). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Liftwave sits between LX Hausys America, Inc. and Livongo Health, Inc..

Liftwave's three-year grant acceleration

Liftwave, Inc. shows 9 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.
