What this shows Toshiba's Innovation Score is 33.2/100 (44th 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 Toshiba?

Each dot is one of Toshiba’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). Toshiba’s own 15.6 claims/patent is at or below the 18.7 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Toshiba's grants concentrate

Toshiba America Business Solutions, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 10 CPC subclasses with 61.1% of grants classified under G03G (ELECTROGRAPHY; ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHY; Magnetography). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Toshiba sits between The Regents of the University of Colorado, a body and Tronox LLC.

Toshiba's three-year grant acceleration

Toshiba America Business Solutions, Inc. shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 8 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.
