What this shows This's Innovation Score is 20.5/100 (7th 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 This?

Each dot is one of This’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). This’s own 6.9 claims/patent is at or below the 15.0 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where This's grants concentrate

This AG is a focused PatentsView assignee: 3 CPC subclasses with 37.5% of grants classified under A61M (Devices FOR Introducing Media Into, OR Onto, THE Body ; Devices FOR Transducing Body Media OR FOR Taking Media From THE Body ; Devices FOR Producing OR Ending Sleep OR Stupor). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, This sits between Thermo Fisher Scientific Geneart GMBH and Tianjin Sanan Optoelectronics Co., Ltd..

This's three-year grant acceleration

This AG shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
