What this shows ABM's Innovation Score is 26.9/100 (22nd 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 ABM?

Each dot is one of ABM’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). ABM’s own 13.6 claims/patent is at or below the 18.6 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where ABM's grants concentrate

ABM International, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 3 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under D05B (Sewing). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (5 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2015. By volume, ABM sits between iBasis, Inc. and Advanced Messaging Technologies, Inc..

ABM's three-year grant acceleration

ABM International, Inc. shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 8 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.
