What this shows The's Innovation Score is 31.1/100 (37th 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.

Where The's grants concentrate

The Subsea Company is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 57.1% of grants classified under E21B (Earth OR Rock DRILLING; Obtaining OIL, GAS, Water, Soluble OR Meltable Materials OR A Slurry OF Minerals From Wells). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, The sits between The Safety Network Partnership, LLC and The Trustees of Princeton University, Office of Technology and Trademark Licensing.

The's three-year grant acceleration

The Subsea Company shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
