What this shows The's Innovation Score is 35.2/100 (top 50% 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 16.5 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 Regents of the University of New Mexico is a focused PatentsView assignee: 14 CPC subclasses with 37.5% of grants classified under C23C (Coating Metallic MATERIAL; Coating Material With Metallic MATERIAL; Surface Treatment OF Metallic Material BY Diffusion Into THE Surface, BY Chemical Conversion OR SUBSTITUTION; Coating BY Vacuum Evap). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, The sits between The Nielsen Co. (LLC) and Therapeutic Solutions International, Inc.

The's three-year grant acceleration

The Regents of the University of New Mexico 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.
