What this shows TI's Innovation Score is 45.1/100 (top 24% 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 17.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 9.6 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 Group Automotive Systems, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 23 CPC subclasses with 36.4% of grants classified under F16L (PIPES; Joints OR Fittings FOR PIPES; Supports FOR Pipes, Cables OR Protective TUBING; Means FOR Thermal Insulation IN General). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, TI sits between Teleflex Medical Devices S.À R.L. and Tomra Systems ASA.

TI's three-year grant acceleration

TI Group Automotive Systems, LLC shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
