What this shows Trane's Innovation Score is 35.6/100 (top 49% 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 Trane?

Each dot is one of Trane’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). Trane’s own 14.2 claims/patent is at or below the 15.0 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Trane's grants concentrate

Trane Air Conditioning Systems (China) Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 13 CPC subclasses with 46.7% of grants classified under F24F (AIR-CONDITIONING; AIR-HUMIDIFICATION; VENTILATION; USE OF AIR Currents FOR Screening). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Trane sits between Tonejet Limited and Triangl Group Limited.

Trane's three-year grant acceleration

Trane Air Conditioning Systems (China) Co., Ltd. shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 7 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.
