What this shows TDW's Innovation Score is 46.1/100 (top 22% 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 TDW?

Each dot is one of TDW’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). TDW’s own 17.2 claims/patent is at or below the 17.7 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where TDW's grants concentrate

TDW Delaware, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 21 CPC subclasses with 95.7% of grants classified under F16L (PIPES; Joints OR Fittings FOR PIPES; Supports FOR Pipes, Cables OR Protective TUBING; Means FOR Thermal Insulation IN General). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (6 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2015. By volume, TDW sits between Secureworks Corp. and Tomey Corporation.

TDW's three-year grant acceleration

TDW Delaware, Inc. shows 15 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.
