Does more volume mean deeper claims for Toughbuilt?
Each dot is one of Toughbuilt’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). Toughbuilt’s own 6.5 claims/patent is at or below the 13.9 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.
Where Toughbuilt's grants concentrate
Toughbuilt Industries, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 16 CPC subclasses with 13.6% of grants classified under B26B (Hand-held Cutting Tools NOT Otherwise Provided FOR). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (10 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2024. By volume, Toughbuilt sits between Tokai Chemical Industries, Ltd. and Truphone Limited.
Toughbuilt's three-year grant acceleration
Toughbuilt Industries, Inc. shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 18 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.
