What this shows At&t's Innovation Score is 30.9/100 (36th 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 At&t?

Each dot is one of At&t’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). At&t’s own 18.4 claims/patent is ABOVE the 16.0 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where At&t's grants concentrate

AT&T Digital Life, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 62.5% of grants classified under G08B (Signalling OR Calling SYSTEMS; Order TELEGRAPHS; Alarm Systems). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, At&t sits between ASOCIACIÓN Centro DE INVESTIGACIÓN Cooperativa EN Nanociencias “CIC NANOGUNE” and Atlanta Attachment Company.

At&t's three-year grant acceleration

AT&T Digital Life, Inc. shows 1 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.
