What this shows Troy's Innovation Score is 38.2/100 (top 41% 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 Troy?

Each dot is one of Troy’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). Troy’s own 13.0 claims/patent is at or below the 14.0 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Troy's grants concentrate

Troy Group, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 24 CPC subclasses with 50% of grants classified under C09D (Coating Compositions, e.g. Paints, Varnishes OR LACQUERS; Filling PASTES; Chemical Paint OR INK REMOVERS; INKS; Correcting FLUIDS; WOODSTAINS; Pastes OR Solids FOR Colouring OR PRINTING; USE OF Materi). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2023. By volume, Troy sits between Tianjin University of Science and Technology and U.S. Farathane Corporation.

Troy's three-year grant acceleration

Troy Group, Inc. shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 10 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.
