What this shows Linamar's Innovation Score is 49.2/100 (top 15% 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 Linamar?

Each dot is one of Linamar’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). Linamar’s own 16.5 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.1 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Linamar's grants concentrate

Linamar Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 24 CPC subclasses with 57.1% of grants classified under F16H (Gearing). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (9 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Linamar sits between Laser Technology, Inc. and Manitou BF.

Linamar's three-year grant acceleration

Linamar Corporation shows 14 grants in 2022–2024 against only 9 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.
