What this shows At&t's Innovation Score is 59.6/100 (top 4% 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 19.7 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.5 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 Technical Services Company, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 13 CPC subclasses with 93.5% of grants classified under H04W (Wireless Communication Networks). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (18 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, At&t sits between Watkins Manufacturing Corporation and Chep Technology Pty Limited.

At&t's three-year grant acceleration

AT&T Technical Services Company, Inc. shows 48 grants in 2022–2024 against only 15 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.
