What this shows E.'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 E.?

Each dot is one of E.’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). E.’s own 14.0 claims/patent is at or below the 14.4 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where E.'s grants concentrate

E. Dillon & Company is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 57.1% of grants classified under E21F (Safety Devices, Transport, Filling-up, Rescue, Ventilation, OR Draining IN OR OF Mines OR Tunnels). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, E. sits between Dynomax Drilling Tools Inc. and Earthclean LLC.

E.'s three-year grant acceleration

E. Dillon & Company shows 3 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.
