The same four weighted components behind every Innovation Score on PlainPatent: portfolio volume, grant velocity, technology breadth, and claim depth.

What this shows L.o.f.'s Innovation Score is 17.7/100 (4th 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 L.o.f.?
Each dot is one of L.o.f.’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). L.o.f.’s own 1.4 claims/patent is at or below the 15.0 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.
Where L.o.f.'s grants concentrate
L.O.F., Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 2 CPC subclasses with 9.1% of grants classified under B60R (Vehicles, Vehicle Fittings, OR Vehicle Parts, NOT Otherwise Provided FOR). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (5 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2024. By volume, L.o.f. sits between Kwivo, LLC and Lanzhou Veterinary Research Institute, Chinese Academy OF Agricultural Sciences.
L.o.f.'s three-year grant acceleration
L.O.F., Inc. shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
