What this shows Ten's Innovation Score is 35.1/100 (top 50% 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 Ten?

Each dot is one of Ten’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). Ten’s own 15.4 claims/patent is ABOVE the 13.0 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Ten's grants concentrate

Ten Cate Thiolon B.V. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 17 CPC subclasses with 71.4% of grants classified under E01C (Construction OF, OR Surfaces FOR, Roads, Sports Grounds, OR THE LIKE; Machines OR Auxiliary Tools FOR Construction OR Repair). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (4 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2016. By volume, Ten sits between Taiwan Hodaka Industrial Co., Ltd. and Terex South Dakota, Inc..

Ten's three-year grant acceleration

Ten Cate Thiolon B.V. shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 7 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.
