What this shows Tangent's Innovation Score is 23.3/100 (12th 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 Tangent?

Each dot is one of Tangent’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). Tangent’s own 8.1 claims/patent is at or below the 10.0 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Tangent's grants concentrate

Tangent Technologies LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 28.6% of grants classified under B29L (Indexing Scheme Associated With Subclass B29c, Relating TO Particular Articles). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2024. By volume, Tangent sits between Takagi Co., Ltd. and Tauns Co., Ltd..

Tangent's three-year grant acceleration

Tangent Technologies LLC shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
