What this shows Trendsetter's Innovation Score is 32.0/100 (40th percentile 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 Trendsetter?

Each dot is one of Trendsetter’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). Trendsetter’s own 12.2 claims/patent is ABOVE the 12.1 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Trendsetter's grants concentrate

Trendsetter Engineering, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 82.1% of grants classified under E21B (Earth OR Rock DRILLING; Obtaining OIL, GAS, Water, Soluble OR Meltable Materials OR A Slurry OF Minerals From Wells). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (13 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, Trendsetter sits between THE DUN & Bradstreet Corporation and Teenage Engineering AB.

Trendsetter's three-year grant acceleration

Trendsetter Engineering, Inc. shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
