What this shows Targus's Innovation Score is 51.8/100 (top 11% 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 Targus?

Each dot is one of Targus’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). Targus’s own 19.4 claims/patent is ABOVE the 16.6 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Targus's grants concentrate

Targus International LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 22 CPC subclasses with 69.4% of grants classified under G06F (Electric Digital Data Processing). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (5 grants) versus a trough of 3 in 2015. By volume, Targus sits between Toyobo MC Corporation and The P.F. Laboratories, Inc..

Targus's three-year grant acceleration

Targus International LLC shows 15 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.
