What this shows ECP's Innovation Score is 44.2/100 (top 26% 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 ECP?

Each dot is one of ECP’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). ECP’s own 13.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 11.5 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where ECP's grants concentrate

ECP Incorporated is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 46.2% of grants classified under B05B (Spraying APPARATUS; Atomising APPARATUS; Nozzles). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (8 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, ECP sits between E.D. Bullard Company and Edge Surgical, Inc..

ECP's three-year grant acceleration

ECP Incorporated shows 9 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.
