What this shows Temper's Innovation Score is 39.8/100 (top 37% 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 Temper?

Each dot is one of Temper’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). Temper’s own 14.1 claims/patent is ABOVE the 13.3 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Temper's grants concentrate

Temper Axle Products Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 12 CPC subclasses with 81.3% of grants classified under F16B (Devices FOR Fastening OR Securing Constructional Elements OR Machine Parts Together, e.g. Nails, Bolts, Circlips, Clamps, Clips OR WEDGES; Joints OR Jointing). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (11 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Temper sits between Shaheen Innovations Holding Limted and Toyota Motor Corporation.

Temper's three-year grant acceleration

Temper Axle Products Corporation shows 11 grants in 2022–2024 against only 13 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.
