What this shows Linear's Innovation Score is 43.7/100 (top 27% 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 Linear?

Each dot is one of Linear’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). Linear’s own 16.1 claims/patent is ABOVE the 11.8 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Linear's grants concentrate

Linear Labs, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 91.5% of grants classified under H02K (Dynamo-electric Machines). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (10 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Linear sits between Lelo Inc. and MTS Systems Corporation.

Linear's three-year grant acceleration

Linear Labs, Inc. shows 23 grants in 2022–2024 against only 12 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.
