What this shows The's Innovation Score is 35.9/100 (top 48% 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 16.7 claims/patent is at or below the 16.7 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where The's grants concentrate

The Tuway American Group, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 10 CPC subclasses with 61.5% of grants classified under A47L (Domestic Washing OR Cleaning ; Suction Cleaners IN General). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, The sits between The Armor All/STP Products Company and Thermal Corp..

The's three-year grant acceleration

The Tuway American Group, Inc. shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 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.
