What this shows Lightning's Innovation Score is 28.2/100 (27th 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 Lightning?

Each dot is one of Lightning’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). Lightning’s own 12.7 claims/patent is at or below the 13.2 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Lightning's grants concentrate

Lightning Protection Systems, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 66.7% of grants classified under H02G (Installation OF Electric Cables OR Lines, OR OF Combined Optical AND Electric Cables OR Lines). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Lightning sits between LifeQ Global Limited and Linhai Jiade Leisure Products Co., Ltd.

Lightning's three-year grant acceleration

Lightning Protection Systems, LLC shows 1 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.
