What this shows The's Innovation Score is 29.2/100 (30th 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 1.0 claims/patent is at or below the 15.4 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.
Where The's grants concentrate
The Container Store, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 0 CPC subclasses . Peak complete grant year is 2022 (8 grants) versus a trough of 3 in 2023. By volume, The sits between Textilma AG and The Notebook, LLC.
The's three-year grant acceleration
The Container Store, Inc. shows 11 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.
