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 16.7 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.8 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.
How The's grant cadence moved
Between 2020–2024, The Board of Regents of the University of Oklahoma received 100 grants versus 89 in 2015–2019 (+12% equal-window velocity, above median growth). Across complete PatentsView years, output peaked in 2022 at 23 grants and bottomed in 2016 at 14. Lead class A61K accounts for 41% of the portfolio across 107 subclasses. Volume neighbours: Robert Bosch Tool Corporation (#1,893) and Rosenberger Hochfrequenztechnik GmbH & Co. KG (#1,901).
The's three-year grant acceleration
From 2019–2021 to 2022–2024, The Board of Regents of the University of Oklahoma moved from 55 to 63 grants (1.15x the prior three-year total, a multiple, not a CAGR). Among 3,296 tracked assignees with ≥100 grants and ≥20 prior-period grants, that multiple ranks #876. See the growth leaderboard.
