What this shows Econtrols's Innovation Score is 36.8/100 (top 45% 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 Econtrols?

Each dot is one of Econtrols’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). Econtrols’s own 14.7 claims/patent is at or below the 15.7 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Econtrols's grants concentrate

EControls, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 75% of grants classified under F02M (Supplying Combustion Engines IN General With Combustible Mixtures OR Constituents Thereof). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Econtrols sits between Dynamic Network Services. Inc. and ENGIE.

Econtrols's three-year grant acceleration

EControls, LLC shows 8 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 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.
