What this shows Atomic's Innovation Score is 45.8/100 (top 22% 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 Atomic?

Each dot is one of Atomic’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). Atomic’s own 17.6 claims/patent is ABOVE the 13.8 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Atomic's grants concentrate

Atomic Energy OF Canada LIMITED/ÈNERGIE Atomique DU Canada LIMITÈE is a focused PatentsView assignee: 33 CPC subclasses with 50% of grants classified under Y02E (Reduction OF Greenhouse GAS [GHG] Emissions, Related TO Energy Generation, Transmission OR Distribution). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Atomic sits between ART Medical Ltd. and AVerMedia Technologies, Inc..

Atomic's three-year grant acceleration

Atomic Energy OF Canada LIMITED/ÈNERGIE Atomique DU Canada LIMITÈE shows 7 grants in 2022–2024 against only 13 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.
