What this shows THE's Innovation Score is 24.9/100 (16th 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 3.9 claims/patent is at or below the 13.4 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 Great States Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 3 CPC subclasses with 12.5% of grants classified under B24B (Machines, Devices, OR Processes FOR Grinding OR Polishing ; Dressing OR Conditioning OF Abrading SURFACES; Feeding OF Grinding, Polishing, OR Lapping Agents). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2024. By volume, THE sits between THE Euclide 2012 Investment Trust and THE Siemon Company.

THE's three-year grant acceleration

THE Great States Corporation shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
