What this shows Liquid'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 Liquid?

Each dot is one of Liquid’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). Liquid’s own 18.4 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.6 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Liquid's grants concentrate

Liquid Robotics, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 23 CPC subclasses with 88% of grants classified under Y02T (Climate Change Mitigation Technologies Related TO Transportation). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Liquid sits between Lumenetix, LLC and Luna Innovations Incorporated.

Liquid's three-year grant acceleration

Liquid Robotics, Inc. shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 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.
