What this shows Thermocompact's Innovation Score is 35.0/100 (49th percentile 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 Thermocompact?

Each dot is one of Thermocompact’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). Thermocompact’s own 13.0 claims/patent is at or below the 17.4 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Thermocompact's grants concentrate

Thermocompact is a focused PatentsView assignee: 12 CPC subclasses with 50% of grants classified under B23H (Working OF Metal BY THE Action OF A High Concentration OF Electric Current ON A Workpiece Using AN Electrode Which Takes THE Place OF A TOOL; Such Working Combined With Other Forms OF Working OF Metal). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Thermocompact sits between The Upper Deck Company and Thule Canada Inc..

Thermocompact's three-year grant acceleration

Thermocompact shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
