What this shows Ligchine's Innovation Score is 44.2/100 (top 26% 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 Ligchine?

Each dot is one of Ligchine’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). Ligchine’s own 15.2 claims/patent is at or below the 18.1 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Ligchine's grants concentrate

Ligchine International Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 92.3% of grants classified under E01C (Construction OF, OR Surfaces FOR, Roads, Sports Grounds, OR THE LIKE; Machines OR Auxiliary Tools FOR Construction OR Repair). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Ligchine sits between Lead Discovery Center GmbH and Limoss (Dongguan) Co., Ltd..

Ligchine's three-year grant acceleration

Ligchine International Corporation shows 5 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.
