How The’s 45.0 Innovation Score adds up
The same four weighted components behind every Innovation Score on PlainPatent: portfolio volume, grant velocity, technology breadth, and claim depth.

What this shows The's Innovation Score is 45.0/100 (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 The?
Each dot is one of The’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). The’s own 11.6 claims/patent is at or below the 14.3 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.
How The's grant cadence moved
Between 2020–2024, The American University in Cairo received 9 grants versus 9 in 2015–2019 (+0% equal-window velocity, above median growth). Across complete PatentsView years, output peaked in 2018 at 6 grants and bottomed in 2017 at 1. Lead class A61K accounts for 20% of the portfolio across 55 subclasses. Volume neighbours: Temasek Polytechnic (#14,992) and The J. David Gladstone Institute, a testamentary trust established under the Will of J. David Gladstone (#15,000).
The's three-year grant acceleration
The American University in Cairo shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 8 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.
