What this shows THE's Innovation Score is 53.0/100 (top 9% 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.

Where THE's grants concentrate

THE DOW Chemical Company is a focused PatentsView assignee: 20 CPC subclasses with 33.3% of grants classified under C08L (Compositions OF Macromolecular Compounds). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, THE sits between TGI Technology PTE Ltd and THE Laryngeal Mask Company Limited.

THE's three-year grant acceleration

THE DOW Chemical Company shows 3 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.
