What this shows Tricol's Innovation Score is 45.3/100 (top 24% 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 Tricol?

Each dot is one of Tricol’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). Tricol’s own 19.4 claims/patent is ABOVE the 12.5 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Tricol's grants concentrate

Tricol Biomedical, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 10 CPC subclasses with 76.9% of grants classified under A61L (Methods OR Apparatus FOR Sterilising Materials OR Objects IN GENERAL; Disinfection, Sterilisation OR Deodorisation OF AIR; Chemical Aspects OF Bandages, Dressings, Absorbent Pads OR Surgical ARTICLES;). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, Tricol sits between Trans Union LLC and Trucapsol LLC.

Tricol's three-year grant acceleration

Tricol Biomedical, Inc. shows 6 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.
