What this shows Topaz's Innovation Score is 26.3/100 (20th 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 Topaz?

Each dot is one of Topaz’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). Topaz’s own 10.3 claims/patent is at or below the 11.3 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Topaz's grants concentrate

Topaz Systems, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 75% of grants classified under G06F (Electric Digital Data Processing). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Topaz sits between Thousand Oaks Corp. and TotalEnergies One Tech Belgium.

Topaz's three-year grant acceleration

Topaz Systems, Inc. shows 1 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.
