What this shows Toshiba's Innovation Score is 35.3/100 (top 50% 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 10.1 claims/patent is at or below the 11.9 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 Visual Solutions Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 25 CPC subclasses with 36.4% of grants classified under H04N (Pictorial Communication, e.g. Television). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, Toshiba sits between TNA Australia Pty Limited and Trina Solar Co., Ltd..

Toshiba's three-year grant acceleration

Toshiba Visual Solutions Corporation shows 1 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.
