What this shows Lightbulb's Innovation Score is 33.4/100 (44th percentile 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 Lightbulb?

Each dot is one of Lightbulb’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). Lightbulb’s own 13.3 claims/patent is at or below the 15.4 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Lightbulb's grants concentrate

Lightbulb Innovation, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 42.9% of grants classified under F25D (REFRIGERATORS; Cold ROOMS; ICE-BOXES; Cooling OR Freezing Apparatus NOT Otherwise Provided FOR). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, Lightbulb sits between Lifewatch Technologies Ltd. and Linde Engineering North America, Inc..

Lightbulb's three-year grant acceleration

Lightbulb Innovation, LLC shows 4 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.
