What this shows Tate's Innovation Score is 57.2/100 (top 5% 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 Tate?

Each dot is one of Tate’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). Tate’s own 18.1 claims/patent is ABOVE the 10.3 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Tate's grants concentrate

Tate & Lyle Solutions USA LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 21 CPC subclasses with 66.7% of grants classified under A23L (Foods, Foodstuffs OR Non-alcoholic Beverages, NOT Otherwise Provided FOR; Preparation OR Treatment Thereof). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (6 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2022. By volume, Tate sits between Taiki Corp., Ltd. and TEL Manufacturing AND Engineering OF America, Inc..

Tate's three-year grant acceleration

Tate & Lyle Solutions USA LLC shows 13 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
