What this shows Texas's Innovation Score is 38.1/100 (top 42% 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 Texas?
Each dot is one of Texas’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). Texas’s own 21.4 claims/patent is ABOVE the 13.7 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.
Where Texas's grants concentrate
Texas Children's Hospital is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 77.8% of grants classified under A61K (Preparations FOR Medical, Dental OR Toiletry Purposes). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, Texas sits between Tescan Brno s.r.o. and The Government of the United States of American, as represented by the Secretary, Department of Health and Human Services.
Texas's three-year grant acceleration
Texas Children's Hospital shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
