What this shows American's Innovation Score is 27.3/100 (23rd 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 15.5 claims/patent is ABOVE the 13.3 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where American's grants concentrate

American Semiconductor, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 66.7% of grants classified under H01L (Semiconductor Devices NOT Covered BY Class H10). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, American sits between American Direct Sales, LLC and American Tactical, Inc..

American's three-year grant acceleration

American Semiconductor, Inc. shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
