What this shows The's Innovation Score is 47.3/100 (top 19% 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 18.7 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.5 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.
Where The's grants concentrate
The Weather Company, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 50% of grants classified under G01W (Meteorology). By volume, The sits between The Steelastic Company, LLC and The Wireless Registry, Inc..
The's three-year grant acceleration
The Weather Company, LLC shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
