What this shows THE's Innovation Score is 28.3/100 (27th percentile 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 14.7 claims/patent is ABOVE the 10.0 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 Board OF Trustees OF THE Univ OF Illinois is a focused PatentsView assignee: 3 CPC subclasses with 83.3% of grants classified under A61P (Specific Therapeutic Activity OF Chemical Compounds OR Medicinal Preparations). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, THE sits between Thankhot Biotechnology Co., Ltd. and THE Final Co. LLC.
THE's three-year grant acceleration
THE Board OF Trustees OF THE Univ OF Illinois shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
