What this shows The's Innovation Score is 45.2/100 (top 24% 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 17.5 claims/patent is ABOVE the 16.0 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 Mosaic Company is a focused PatentsView assignee: 21 CPC subclasses with 60% of grants classified under C05G (Mixtures OF Fertilisers Covered Individually BY Different Subclasses OF Class C05; Mixtures OF ONE OR More Fertilisers With Materials NOT Having A Specific Fertilising Activity, e.g. Pesticides, Soil-). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, The sits between Tarng Yu Enterprise co., ltd. and The U.S.A., as represented by The Secretary, Department of Health and Human Services.

The's three-year grant acceleration

The Mosaic Company shows 11 grants in 2022–2024 against only 12 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.
