What this shows American's Innovation Score is 32.2/100 (40th 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 American?

Each dot is one of American’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). American’s own 10.4 claims/patent is at or below the 17.5 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where American's grants concentrate

American Orthodontics Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 1 CPC subclasses with 55.2% of grants classified under A61C (DENTISTRY; Apparatus OR Methods FOR Oral OR Dental Hygiene). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, American sits between Alegeus Technologies, LLC and Avails Medical, Inc..

American's three-year grant acceleration

American Orthodontics Corporation shows 8 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.
