What this shows Amann's Innovation Score is 34.3/100 (47th 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 Amann?

Each dot is one of Amann’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). Amann’s own 12.9 claims/patent is at or below the 15.8 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Amann's grants concentrate

Amann Girrbach AG is a focused PatentsView assignee: 15 CPC subclasses with 91.7% of grants classified under A61C (DENTISTRY; Apparatus OR Methods FOR Oral OR Dental Hygiene). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Amann sits between Alpheus Medical, Inc. and Ample, Inc..

Amann's three-year grant acceleration

Amann Girrbach AG shows 3 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.
