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.

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.
