What this shows Alberta's Innovation Score is 40.4/100 (top 36% 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 Alberta?

Each dot is one of Alberta’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). Alberta’s own 15.6 claims/patent is at or below the 18.7 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Alberta's grants concentrate

Alberta Health Services is a focused PatentsView assignee: 21 CPC subclasses with 57.9% of grants classified under A61N (ELECTROTHERAPY; MAGNETOTHERAPY; Radiation THERAPY; Ultrasound Therapy). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Alberta sits between Aegea Medical Inc. and AmSafe, Inc..

Alberta's three-year grant acceleration

Alberta Health Services shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
