What this shows ABS's Innovation Score is 30.7/100 (35th 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 ABS?

Each dot is one of ABS’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). ABS’s own 14.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 7.0 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where ABS's grants concentrate

ABS Materials, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 83.3% of grants classified under B01J (Chemical OR Physical Processes, e.g. Catalysis OR Colloid CHEMISTRY; Their Relevant Apparatus). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, ABS sits between Ablecom Technology Inc. and Acasis Inc. Co., Ltd.

ABS's three-year grant acceleration

ABS Materials, Inc. shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
