What this shows THE's Innovation Score is 28.6/100 (28th 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 17.3 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.5 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 California Institute FOR Biomedical Research is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 66.7% of grants classified under A61P (Specific Therapeutic Activity OF Chemical Compounds OR Medicinal Preparations).
