What this shows The's Innovation Score is 26.6/100 (21st 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.

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 10.3 claims/patent is at or below the 17.4 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 University of Vermont and State Agriculture College is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 91.7% of grants classified under A61K (Preparations FOR Medical, Dental OR Toiletry Purposes). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, The sits between The Provost, Fellows, Scholars and Other Members of Board of Trinity College Dublin and ThreatMETRIX PTY Ltd.

The's three-year grant acceleration

The University of Vermont and State Agriculture College shows 2 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.
