What this shows Vode's Innovation Score is 34.5/100 (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 Vode?

Each dot is one of Vode’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). Vode’s own 6.5 claims/patent is at or below the 14.7 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Vode's grants concentrate

Vode Lighting LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 10 CPC subclasses with 40.9% 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 2024 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Vode sits between VEFXi Corporation and Veolia Water Technologies, Inc..

Vode's three-year grant acceleration

Vode Lighting LLC shows 9 grants in 2022–2024 against only 7 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.
