What this shows TP's Innovation Score is 50.0/100 (top 14% 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 TP?

Each dot is one of TP’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). TP’s own 21.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 17.6 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where TP's grants concentrate

TP Lab, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 23 CPC subclasses with 35.7% of grants classified under H04L (Transmission OF Digital Information, e.g. Telegraphic Communication). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (16 grants) versus a trough of 3 in 2023. By volume, TP sits between Somfy Activites SA and Zhuhai Pantum Electronics Co., Ltd..

TP's three-year grant acceleration

TP Lab, Inc. shows 11 grants in 2022–2024 against only 16 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.
