What this shows Lochinvar's Innovation Score is 34.7/100 (48th percentile 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 Lochinvar?

Each dot is one of Lochinvar’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). Lochinvar’s own 16.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 13.9 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Lochinvar's grants concentrate

Lochinvar, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 12 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under F24H (Fluid Heaters, e.g. Water OR AIR Heaters, Having Heat-generating Means, e.g. Heat Pumps, IN General). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Lochinvar sits between Lilium eAircraft GmbH and Loop Now Technologies, Inc..

Lochinvar's three-year grant acceleration

Lochinvar, LLC shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 8 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.
