What this shows NTT's Innovation Score is 40.6/100 (top 35% 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 19.4 claims/patent is ABOVE the 17.2 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where NTT's grants concentrate

NTT Data Services, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under G06F (Electric Digital Data Processing). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2024. By volume, NTT sits between Novatek IP, LLC and Nanjing Horizon Robotics Technology Co., Ltd..

NTT's three-year grant acceleration

NTT Data Services, LLC shows 7 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.
