What this shows The's Innovation Score is 58.6/100 (top 4% 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 25.2 claims/patent is ABOVE the 12.2 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 Nemours Foundation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 18 CPC subclasses with 36.4% of grants classified under C07K (Peptides). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, The sits between The Carlstar Group LLC and Theracell, LLC.

The's three-year grant acceleration

The Nemours Foundation shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
