What this shows Texas's Innovation Score is 52.6/100 (top 10% 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 13.6 claims/patent is at or below the 16.7 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Texas's grants concentrate

Texas Research International, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 20 CPC subclasses with 27.3% of grants classified under G01N (Investigating OR Analysing Materials BY Determining Their Chemical OR Physical Properties). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Texas sits between Tercel IP Limited and THE Science AND Technology Facilities Council.

Texas's three-year grant acceleration

Texas Research International, Inc. shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
