What this shows AOB's Innovation Score is 68.5/100 (top 1% 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 AOB?

Each dot is one of AOB’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). AOB’s own 24.7 claims/patent is ABOVE the 17.6 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where AOB's grants concentrate

AOB Products Company is a focused PatentsView assignee: 29 CPC subclasses with 24.6% of grants classified under F42B (Explosive Charges, e.g. FOR Blasting, Fireworks, Ammunition). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (18 grants) versus a trough of 5 in 2020. By volume, AOB sits between Veltek Associates, Inc. and Bambino Prezioso Switzerland.

AOB's three-year grant acceleration

AOB Products Company shows 42 grants in 2022–2024 against only 11 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.
