What this shows LMK's Innovation Score is 38.9/100 (top 40% 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 LMK?

Each dot is one of LMK’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). LMK’s own 20.5 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.2 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where LMK's grants concentrate

LMK Technologies, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 12 CPC subclasses with 83% of grants classified under F16L (PIPES; Joints OR Fittings FOR PIPES; Supports FOR Pipes, Cables OR Protective TUBING; Means FOR Thermal Insulation IN General). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (12 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, LMK sits between Kelsey-hayes-company and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Machine Tool Co., Ltd..

LMK's three-year grant acceleration

LMK Technologies, LLC shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 13 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.
