What this shows The's Innovation Score is 40.8/100 (top 35% 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 8.0 claims/patent is at or below the 14.3 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 Industry & Academic Cooperation in Chungnam National University is a focused PatentsView assignee: 33 CPC subclasses with 30.4% of grants classified under A61K (Preparations FOR Medical, Dental OR Toiletry Purposes). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, The sits between Tadano Demag GmbH and The Tranzonic Companies.

The's three-year grant acceleration

The Industry & Academic Cooperation in Chungnam National University shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 7 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.
