What this shows The's Innovation Score is 40.2/100 (top 36% 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 16.6 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.8 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 Pullman Company is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 77.1% of grants classified under F16F (SPRINGS; SHOCK-ABSORBERS; Means FOR Damping Vibration). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (5 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2017. By volume, The sits between Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children and Tridonic Jennersdorf GmbH.

The's three-year grant acceleration

The Pullman 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.
