What this shows THE's Innovation Score is 56.5/100 (top 6% 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 8.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 7.5 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

How THE's grant cadence moved

Between 2020–2024, THE School Corporation Kansai University received 33 grants versus 5 in 2015–2019 (+560% equal-window velocity, top decile growth). Across complete PatentsView years, output peaked in 2024 at 11 grants and bottomed in 2016 at 1. Lead class B66C accounts for 32.5% of the portfolio across 51 subclasses. Volume neighbours: StoreBound LLC (#8,117) and TUSAS—TURK Havacilik VE Uzay Sanayii Anonim Sirketi (#8,125).

THE's three-year grant acceleration

THE School Corporation Kansai University shows 24 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.
