What this shows Luminiz's Innovation Score is 21.8/100 (9th 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 Luminiz?

Each dot is one of Luminiz’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). Luminiz’s own 4.2 claims/patent is at or below the 17.4 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Luminiz's grants concentrate

Luminiz Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 17.6% of grants classified under F21S (Non-portable Lighting DEVICES; Systems THEREOF; Vehicle Lighting Devices Specially Adapted FOR Vehicle Exteriors). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Luminiz sits between Link Mfg., Ltd. and Mace Group, Inc..

Luminiz's three-year grant acceleration

Luminiz Inc. shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 9 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.
