What this shows ATS's Innovation Score is 60.5/100 (top 3% 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 ATS?

Each dot is one of ATS’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). ATS’s own 17.3 claims/patent is ABOVE the 12.7 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where ATS's grants concentrate

ATS Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 27 CPC subclasses with 44.8% of grants classified under B65G (Transport OR Storage Devices, e.g. Conveyors FOR Loading OR Tipping, Shop Conveyor Systems OR Pneumatic Tube Conveyors). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, ATS sits between Apogenix AG and Advanced Charging Technologies Inc..

ATS's three-year grant acceleration

ATS Corporation shows 13 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
