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.

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.
