What this shows Tigercat's Innovation Score is 44.5/100 (top 25% 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 Tigercat?

Each dot is one of Tigercat’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). Tigercat’s own 17.6 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.2 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Tigercat's grants concentrate

Tigercat Industries Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 17 CPC subclasses with 40% of grants classified under A01G (HORTICULTURE; Cultivation OF Vegetables, Flowers, Rice, Fruit, Vines, Hops OR SEAWEED; FORESTRY; Watering). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Tigercat sits between Thought Preserve, LLC and Tongtai Machine & Tool Co., Ltd..

Tigercat's three-year grant acceleration

Tigercat Industries Inc. shows 5 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.
