What this shows Link's Innovation Score is 39.7/100 (top 37% 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 Link?
Each dot is one of Link’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). Link’s own 22.0 claims/patent is ABOVE the 12.3 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.
Where Link's grants concentrate
Link Labs, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 86.7% of grants classified under H04W (Wireless Communication Networks). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (8 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, Link sits between Lamb-Weston/Meijer V.O.F. and Lucite International UK Limited.
Link's three-year grant acceleration
Link Labs, Inc. shows 7 grants in 2022–2024 against only 16 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.
