What this shows Touching's Innovation Score is 25.7/100 (18th 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 Touching?

Each dot is one of Touching’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). Touching’s own 5.4 claims/patent is at or below the 14.7 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Touching's grants concentrate

Touching Design LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 7.7% of grants classified under B60J (Windows, Windscreens, Non-fixed Roofs, Doors, OR Similar Devices FOR VEHICLES; Removable External Protective Coverings Specially Adapted FOR Vehicles). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (8 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Touching sits between Tokyo Keiki Inc. and Transphorm Technology, Inc..

Touching's three-year grant acceleration

Touching Design LLC shows 4 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.
