What this shows Ample's Innovation Score is 38.4/100 (top 41% 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 Ample?

Each dot is one of Ample’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). Ample’s own 16.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.5 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Ample's grants concentrate

Ample, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 13 CPC subclasses with 66.7% of grants classified under B60L (Propulsion OF Electrically-propelled Vehicles ; Supplying Electric Power FOR Auxiliary Equipment OF Electrically-propelled Vehicles ; Electrodynamic Brake Systems FOR Vehicles IN General ; Magnetic SU). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Ample sits between Amann Girrbach AG and Anteris Technologies Corporation.

Ample's three-year grant acceleration

Ample, Inc. shows 2 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.
