What this shows Timex's Innovation Score is 37.8/100 (top 43% 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 Timex?

Each dot is one of Timex’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). Timex’s own 8.8 claims/patent is at or below the 18.1 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Timex's grants concentrate

Timex Group USA, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 21 CPC subclasses with 56.5% of grants classified under G04B (Mechanically-driven Clocks OR WATCHES; Mechanical Parts OF Clocks OR Watches IN GENERAL; Time Pieces Using THE Position OF THE SUN, Moon OR Stars). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Timex sits between The United States of America, as Represented by the Secretary of Commerce National Institute of Standards and Technology and TruePic Inc..

Timex's three-year grant acceleration

Timex Group USA, Inc. shows 4 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.
