What this shows The's Innovation Score is 36.5/100 (top 46% 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 19.3 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.7 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 Research Foundation for The State University o is a focused PatentsView assignee: 13 CPC subclasses with 42.9% of grants classified under G06F (Electric Digital Data Processing). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, The sits between The Meet Group, Inc. and The State of Oregon Acting by and through the State Board of Higher Education on Behalf of the University of Oregon.
The's three-year grant acceleration
The Research Foundation for The State University o shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
