What this shows AMS's Innovation Score is 46.0/100 (top 22% 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 15.0 claims/patent is at or below the 15.4 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where AMS's grants concentrate

AMS Sensors Belgium Bvba is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 92.3% of grants classified under H04N (Pictorial Communication, e.g. Television). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (5 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2019. By volume, AMS sits between Alpvision S.A. and Apci LLC.

AMS's three-year grant acceleration

AMS Sensors Belgium Bvba shows 9 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.
