What this shows NTT's Innovation Score is 40.1/100 (top 37% 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 NTT?

Each dot is one of NTT’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). NTT’s own 9.2 claims/patent is at or below the 12.7 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where NTT's grants concentrate

NTT Advanced Technology Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 17 CPC subclasses with 47.1% of grants classified under G02B (Optical Elements, Systems OR Apparatus). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, NTT sits between Ningbo Jinghui Opto-electronic Co., Ltd. and Nantkwest, Inc..

NTT's three-year grant acceleration

NTT Advanced Technology Corporation shows 6 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.
