What this shows Atec's Innovation Score is 30.2/100 (34th 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 Atec?

Each dot is one of Atec’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). Atec’s own 13.0 claims/patent is at or below the 14.8 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Atec's grants concentrate

Atec AP Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 13 CPC subclasses with 58.3% of grants classified under G07D (Handling OF Coins OR Valuable Papers, e.g. Testing, Sorting BY Denominations, Counting, Dispensing, Changing OR Depositing). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, Atec sits between ASM Automation Sensorik Messtechnik GmbH and Aubert & Duval.

Atec's three-year grant acceleration

Atec AP Co., Ltd. shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 8 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.
