What this shows TI's Innovation Score is 45.5/100 (top 23% 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 TI?

Each dot is one of TI’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). TI’s own 14.2 claims/patent is ABOVE the 12.1 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where TI's grants concentrate

TI Automotive Technology Center GMBH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 26 CPC subclasses with 64.7% of grants classified under B60K (Arrangement OR Mounting OF Propulsion Units OR OF Transmissions IN VEHICLES; Arrangement OR Mounting OF Plural Diverse Prime-movers IN VEHICLES; Auxiliary Drives FOR VEHICLES; Instrumentation OR Dashb). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, TI sits between Solexel, Inc. and Tervis Tumbler Company.

TI's three-year grant acceleration

TI Automotive Technology Center GMBH shows 10 grants in 2022–2024 against only 10 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.
