What this shows Tekna's Innovation Score is 42.7/100 (top 30% 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 Tekna?

Each dot is one of Tekna’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). Tekna’s own 22.1 claims/patent is ABOVE the 12.7 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Tekna's grants concentrate

Tekna Plasma Systems Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 13 CPC subclasses with 76.5% of grants classified under B22F (Working Metallic POWDER; Manufacture OF Articles From Metallic POWDER; Making Metallic Powder ; Apparatus OR Devices Specially Adapted FOR Metallic Powder). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Tekna sits between Tech Pharmacy Services, LLC and The Burchell Nursery, Inc..

Tekna's three-year grant acceleration

Tekna Plasma Systems Inc. shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
