What this shows Ear's Innovation Score is 27.2/100 (23rd 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 Ear?

Each dot is one of Ear’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). Ear’s own 8.7 claims/patent is at or below the 10.2 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Ear's grants concentrate

Ear Tech, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 15.4% of grants classified under H04R (Loudspeakers, Microphones, Gramophone Pick-ups OR Like Acoustic Electromechanical TRANSDUCERS; Deaf-aid SETS; Public Address Systems). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (8 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Ear sits between Essence Technology Holdings (HK) Limited and EcoTech Marine, LLC.

Ear's three-year grant acceleration

Ear Tech, LLC shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 9 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.
