What this shows ATC's Innovation Score is 45.6/100 (top 23% 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 ATC?

Each dot is one of ATC’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). ATC’s own 21.5 claims/patent is ABOVE the 17.1 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where ATC's grants concentrate

ATC Technologies, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 17 CPC subclasses with 63.9% of grants classified under H04B (Transmission). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (10 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, ATC sits between Adlink Technology Inc. and Alibaba (China) Co., Ltd.

ATC's three-year grant acceleration

ATC Technologies, LLC shows 12 grants in 2022–2024 against only 14 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.
