What this shows THE's Innovation Score is 27.5/100 (24th percentile 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 16.3 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.6 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 Queen Elizabeth Hospital King's Lynn NHS Foundation Trust is a focused PatentsView assignee: 3 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under A61M (Devices FOR Introducing Media Into, OR Onto, THE Body ; Devices FOR Transducing Body Media OR FOR Taking Media From THE Body ; Devices FOR Producing OR Ending Sleep OR Stupor). By volume, THE sits between THE Invention Science Fund II, LLC and THE Yacht Group, LLC.
THE's three-year grant acceleration
THE Queen Elizabeth Hospital King's Lynn NHS Foundation Trust shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
