What this shows TN's Innovation Score is 35.5/100 (top 49% 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 TN?

Each dot is one of TN’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). TN’s own 14.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 12.2 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where TN's grants concentrate

TN International is a focused PatentsView assignee: 15 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under G21F (Protection Against X-radiation, Gamma Radiation, Corpuscular Radiation OR Particle BOMBARDMENT; Treating Radioactively Contaminated MATERIAL; Decontamination Arrangements Therefor). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (5 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2016. By volume, TN sits between THE Korea Development Bank and Topy Kogyo Kabushiki Kaisha.

TN's three-year grant acceleration

TN International shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 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.
