What this shows Andis's Innovation Score is 36.5/100 (top 46% 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 Andis?

Each dot is one of Andis’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). Andis’s own 8.9 claims/patent is at or below the 16.9 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Andis's grants concentrate

Andis Company is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 46.6% of grants classified under B26B (Hand-held Cutting Tools NOT Otherwise Provided FOR). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (10 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2015. By volume, Andis sits between Astrium GMBH and Cerence Operating Company.

Andis's three-year grant acceleration

Andis Company shows 22 grants in 2022–2024 against only 16 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.
