As a Foreign Corporation, THE Provost, Fellows, Foundation Scholars, AND THE Other Members OF Board, OF THE College OF THE HOLY AND Undivided Trinity OF Queen Elizabeth NEAR Dublin is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset.

The composite Innovation Score of 59.2/100 blends portfolio volume, grant velocity, technology breadth, and claim depth into a single comparable measure drawn directly from USPTO PatentsView records.
Grant cadence records the difference between two grant-year windows. Between 2020 and 2024 the company received 21 grants, compared with 19 in the 2015–2019 window, a +11% shift in five-year grant velocity. Both windows cover five complete grant years; the latest PatentsView year is a partial release and is excluded from this comparison, though it still appears in the yearly table and chart below. Grant timing can lag the related application by years, so this comparison does not establish current R&D spending, strategic intent, or a company’s application activity. The Foreign Corporation classification provides context for the assignee record, not a conclusion about its business strategy.
Claim depth and technology breadth describe this aggregate record. THE Provost, Fellows, Foundation Scholars, AND THE Other Members OF Board, OF THE College OF THE HOLY AND Undivided Trinity OF Queen Elizabeth NEAR Dublin's 16.9 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 58 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
THE's 41 grants land it in the top 4% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
Patent counts and the Innovation Score measure patenting activity, not commercial success or the legal strength of any patent. Many patents are filed defensively. Verify the status of an individual patent against official USPTO records.
