What this shows ABT's Innovation Score is 41.3/100 (top 33% 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 ABT?

Each dot is one of ABT’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). ABT’s own 13.5 claims/patent is at or below the 15.2 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where ABT's grants concentrate

ABT, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 24 CPC subclasses with 54.1% of grants classified under C12N (Microorganisms OR ENZYMES; Compositions THEREOF; Propagating, Preserving, OR Maintaining MICROORGANISMS; Mutation OR Genetic ENGINEERING; Culture Media). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, ABT sits between Zhejiang Dunan Artificial Environment Co., Ltd. and Aulton NEW Energy Automotive Technology Group.

ABT's three-year grant acceleration

ABT, Inc. shows 6 grants in 2022–2024 against only 12 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.
