What this shows Tactile's Innovation Score is 29.6/100 (31st 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 Tactile?

Each dot is one of Tactile’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). Tactile’s own 11.1 claims/patent is at or below the 14.8 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Tactile's grants concentrate

Tactile Systems Technology, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 55.2% of grants classified under A61H (Physical Therapy Apparatus, e.g. Devices FOR Locating OR Stimulating Reflex Points IN THE BODY; Artificial RESPIRATION; MASSAGE; Bathing Devices FOR Special Therapeutic OR Hygienic Purposes OR Specifi). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (8 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2018. By volume, Tactile sits between Source Photonics Inc. and THE Folger Coffee Company.

Tactile's three-year grant acceleration

Tactile Systems Technology, Inc. shows 10 grants in 2022–2024 against only 16 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.
