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 Nisshin OilliO Group, Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 26 CPC subclasses with 42.9% of grants classified under A61K (Preparations FOR Medical, Dental OR Toiletry Purposes). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (8 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, The sits between Technical University of Denmark and Touchstone International Medical Science Co., Ltd..

The's three-year grant acceleration

The Nisshin OilliO Group, Ltd. shows 11 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
