What this shows Premier's Innovation Score is 34.2/100 (47th percentile 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 Premier?

Each dot is one of Premier’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). Premier’s own 18.1 claims/patent is at or below the 18.2 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Premier's grants concentrate

Premier Dental Products Company is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 95.8% of grants classified under A61K (Preparations FOR Medical, Dental OR Toiletry Purposes). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, Premier sits between Perceptive Automata, Inc. and Proteostasis Therapeutics, Inc..

Premier's three-year grant acceleration

Premier Dental Products Company shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 9 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.
