What this shows The's Innovation Score is 50.1/100 (top 13% 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 16.4 claims/patent is at or below the 16.6 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

How The's grant cadence moved

Between 2020–2024, The Research Foundation of the State University of New York received 6 grants versus 46 in 2015–2019 (-87% equal-window velocity, below median growth). Across complete PatentsView years, output peaked in 2015 at 18 grants and bottomed in 2022 at 1. Lead class A61K accounts for 28.3% of the portfolio across 57 subclasses. Volume neighbours: Thine Electronics, Inc. (#6,389) and Ultima Genomics, Inc. (#6,397).

The's three-year grant acceleration

The Research Foundation of the State University of New York shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 9 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.
