What this shows Tenova's Innovation Score is 37.6/100 (top 43% 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 Tenova?

Each dot is one of Tenova’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). Tenova’s own 14.1 claims/patent is at or below the 19.3 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Tenova's grants concentrate

Tenova S.P.A. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 17 CPC subclasses with 66.7% of grants classified under F27D (Details OR Accessories OF Furnaces, Kilns, Ovens OR Retorts, IN SO FAR AS They ARE OF Kinds Occurring IN More Than ONE Kind OF Furnace). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Tenova sits between Team IP Holdings, LLC and THE Bionics Institute OF Australia.

Tenova's three-year grant acceleration

Tenova S.P.A. shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
