What this shows Toppan's Innovation Score is 69.1/100 (top 1% 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 Toppan?

Each dot is one of Toppan’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). Toppan’s own 13.1 claims/patent is at or below the 16.0 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

How Toppan's grant cadence moved

Grant history spans 2023–2025. Across complete PatentsView years, output peaked in 2024 at 46 grants and bottomed in 2023 at 10. Lead class B32B accounts for 25% of the portfolio across 69 subclasses. Volume neighbours: GE OIL & GAS UK Ltd (#3,432) and Walbro LLC (#3,440).

Toppan's three-year grant acceleration

Toppan Inc. shows 56 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
