What this shows Tour's Innovation Score is 36.8/100 (top 45% 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 Tour?

Each dot is one of Tour’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). Tour’s own 26.0 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.4 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Tour's grants concentrate

Tour Engine, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under F02B (Internal-combustion Piston ENGINES; Combustion Engines IN General). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Tour sits between Topix Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Transonic Systems Inc..

Tour's three-year grant acceleration

Tour Engine, Inc. shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
