What this shows Tomy's Innovation Score is 29.0/100 (29th percentile 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 Tomy?

Each dot is one of Tomy’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). Tomy’s own 5.7 claims/patent is at or below the 13.4 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Tomy's grants concentrate

Tomy International, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 30.4% of grants classified under A63H (Toys, e.g. Tops, Dolls, Hoops OR Building Blocks). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, Tomy sits between Thyssenkrupp Carbon Components GMBH and Twenty Twenty Therapeutics LLC.

Tomy's three-year grant acceleration

Tomy International, Inc. shows 3 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.
