What this shows TLI's Innovation Score is 37.9/100 (top 42% 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.

Where TLI's grants concentrate

TLI Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 66.7% of grants classified under G09G (Arrangements OR Circuits FOR Control OF Indicating Devices Using Static Means TO Present Variable Information). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, TLI sits between Thuasne and Tongfu Manufacturing Co., Ltd.

TLI's three-year grant acceleration

TLI Inc. shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
