What this shows ECR's Innovation Score is 27.1/100 (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 ECR?

Each dot is one of ECR’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). ECR’s own 14.5 claims/patent is ABOVE the 11.8 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where ECR's grants concentrate

ECR Software Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 80% of grants classified under G07G (Registering THE Receipt OF Cash, Valuables, OR Tokens). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, ECR sits between Dynax Semiconductor, Inc. and Ehwa Diamond Industrial Co., Ltd..

ECR's three-year grant acceleration

ECR Software Corporation shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 7 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.
