What this shows TD's Innovation Score is 44.3/100 (top 26% 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.

Where TD's grants concentrate

TD Ameritrade IP Company, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 14 CPC subclasses with 42.5% of grants classified under G06F (Electric Digital Data Processing). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (16 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, TD sits between Stoneage, Inc. and Zhejiang Taotao Vehicles Co., Ltd.

TD's three-year grant acceleration

TD Ameritrade IP Company, Inc. shows 24 grants in 2022–2024 against only 19 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.
