What this shows AMS's Innovation Score is 59.1/100 (top 4% 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 AMS?

Each dot is one of AMS’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). AMS’s own 14.2 claims/patent is at or below the 15.9 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

How AMS's grant cadence moved

Between 2020–2024, AMS AG received 171 grants versus 224 in 2015–2019 (-24% equal-window velocity, below median growth). Across complete PatentsView years, output peaked in 2017 at 58 grants and bottomed in 2023 at 25. Lead class H01L accounts for 17.7% of the portfolio across 85 subclasses. Volume neighbours: Brainlab AG (#1,058) and Fox Factory, Inc. (#1,066).

AMS's three-year grant acceleration

From 2019–2021 to 2022–2024, AMS AG moved from 128 to 93 grants (0.73x the prior three-year total, a multiple, not a CAGR). Among 3,296 tracked assignees with ≥100 grants and ≥20 prior-period grants, that multiple ranks #2,067. See the growth leaderboard.
