What this shows Texas's Innovation Score is 39.1/100 (top 39% 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 Texas?

Each dot is one of Texas’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). Texas’s own 20.6 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.1 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Texas's grants concentrate

Texas Fueling Services, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 91.7% of grants classified under B67D (Dispensing, Delivering OR Transferring Liquids, NOT Otherwise Provided FOR). By volume, Texas sits between Techline Technologies, Inc. and The Gravity Group, LLC.

Texas's three-year grant acceleration

Texas Fueling Services, Inc. shows 6 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.
