What this shows LSI's Innovation Score is 36.3/100 (top 47% 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 LSI?

Each dot is one of LSI’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). LSI’s own 10.2 claims/patent is at or below the 15.2 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where LSI's grants concentrate

LSI Industries, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 18 CPC subclasses with 34% of grants classified under F21V (Functional Features OR Details OF Lighting Devices OR Systems THEREOF; Structural Combinations OF Lighting Devices With Other Articles, NOT Otherwise Provided FOR). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (18 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, LSI sits between L.E.A.F. Holdings Group LLC and MGC Filsheet Co., Ltd..

LSI's three-year grant acceleration

LSI Industries, Inc. shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 11 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.
