What this shows Alltech's Innovation Score is 40.7/100 (top 35% 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 Alltech?

Each dot is one of Alltech’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). Alltech’s own 20.1 claims/patent is ABOVE the 16.8 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Alltech's grants concentrate

Alltech, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 24 CPC subclasses with 47.1% of grants classified under A61K (Preparations FOR Medical, Dental OR Toiletry Purposes). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Alltech sits between Alla France and American Superconductor Corporation.

Alltech's three-year grant acceleration

Alltech, Inc. shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
