What this shows THE's Innovation Score is 48.1/100 (top 17% 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 20.0 claims/patent is ABOVE the 11.7 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where THE's grants concentrate

THE Bank OF NEW York Mellon is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 63.1% of grants classified under G06F (Electric Digital Data Processing). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (18 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, THE sits between Sonic IP, LLC and Toshiba International Corporation.

THE's three-year grant acceleration

THE Bank OF NEW York Mellon shows 35 grants in 2022–2024 against only 18 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.
