What this shows ATG's Innovation Score is 28.8/100 (28th 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 ATG?

Each dot is one of ATG’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). ATG’s own 11.0 claims/patent is at or below the 12.4 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where ATG's grants concentrate

ATG R&D Limited is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 60% of grants classified under C02F (Treatment OF Water, Waste Water, Sewage, OR Sludge). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, ATG sits between AT&T Global Network Services Belgium Luxembourg Spri. and Atlas Copco BLM S.R.L..

ATG's three-year grant acceleration

ATG R&D Limited shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
