What this shows Abbott's Innovation Score is 30.3/100 (34th 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 Abbott?

Each dot is one of Abbott’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). Abbott’s own 20.4 claims/patent is ABOVE the 12.4 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Abbott's grants concentrate

Abbott Japan LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 3 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under G01N (Investigating OR Analysing Materials BY Determining Their Chemical OR Physical Properties). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Abbott sits between A.V. Topchiev Institute of Petrochemical Synthesis, Russian Academy of Sciences and Accutec Blades, Inc..

Abbott's three-year grant acceleration

Abbott Japan LLC shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
