What this shows Tomra's Innovation Score is 35.9/100 (top 48% 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 Tomra?

Each dot is one of Tomra’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). Tomra’s own 13.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 10.1 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Tomra's grants concentrate

Tomra Systems ASA is a focused PatentsView assignee: 15 CPC subclasses with 50% of grants classified under G07F (Coin-freed OR Like Apparatus). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (5 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2015. By volume, Tomra sits between TI Group Automotive Systems, LLC and Trete, Inc..

Tomra's three-year grant acceleration

Tomra Systems ASA shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 9 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.
