Does more volume mean deeper claims for LNJ?
Each dot is one of LNJ’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). LNJ’s own 8.9 claims/patent is at or below the 14.6 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.
Where LNJ's grants concentrate
LNJ Group, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 2 CPC subclasses with 28.6% of grants classified under F25B (Refrigeration Machines, Plants OR SYSTEMS; Combined Heating AND Refrigeration SYSTEMS; Heat Pump Systems). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, LNJ sits between Liverpool John Moores University and Logisig Inc..
LNJ's three-year grant acceleration
LNJ Group, LLC shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
