What this shows AML's Innovation Score is 31.6/100 (38th 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 AML?

Each dot is one of AML’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). AML’s own 12.3 claims/patent is at or below the 14.3 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where AML's grants concentrate

AML Systems is a focused PatentsView assignee: 13 CPC subclasses with 83.3% of grants classified under F21S (Non-portable Lighting DEVICES; Systems THEREOF; Vehicle Lighting Devices Specially Adapted FOR Vehicle Exteriors). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, AML sits between Alphinity, LLC and AMS Trace Metals, Inc..

AML's three-year grant acceleration

AML Systems shows 2 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.
