What this shows Atlas's Innovation Score is 43.6/100 (top 28% 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 Atlas?

Each dot is one of Atlas’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). Atlas’s own 13.9 claims/patent is at or below the 15.1 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Atlas's grants concentrate

Atlas Copco Airpower N.V. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 21 CPC subclasses with 28.6% of grants classified under F04C (Rotary-piston, OR Oscillating-piston, Positive-displacement Machines FOR Liquids ; Rotary-piston, OR Oscillating-piston, Positive-displacement Pumps). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Atlas sits between ARB Labs Inc. and Adasky, Ltd..

Atlas's three-year grant acceleration

Atlas Copco Airpower N.V. shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
