What this shows ACT's Innovation Score is 32.7/100 (42nd 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 ACT?

Each dot is one of ACT’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). ACT’s own 16.1 claims/patent is at or below the 17.2 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where ACT's grants concentrate

ACT, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 63.2% of grants classified under G09B (Educational OR Demonstration APPLIANCES; Appliances FOR Teaching, OR Communicating With, THE Blind, Deaf OR MUTE; MODELS; PLANETARIA; GLOBES; MAPS; Diagrams). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, ACT sits between the dtx company and Advanced Agrilytics Holdings, LLC.

ACT's three-year grant acceleration

ACT, Inc. shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 14 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.
