What this shows THE's Innovation Score is 54.3/100 (top 8% 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.

Where THE's grants concentrate

THE Asan Foundation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 39 CPC subclasses with 56.5% of grants classified under A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; Identification). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (13 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, THE sits between Sanko Tekstil Isletmeleri San. Ve Tic. A.S. and Telefónica, S.A.

THE's three-year grant acceleration

THE Asan Foundation shows 32 grants in 2022–2024 against only 19 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.
