What this shows effector's Innovation Score is 33.9/100 (46th 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 effector?

Each dot is one of effector’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). effector’s own 14.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.4 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where effector's grants concentrate

eFFECTOR Therapeutics Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 85.7% of grants classified under A61P (Specific Therapeutic Activity OF Chemical Compounds OR Medicinal Preparations). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, effector sits between ZestFinance, Inc. and 3-5 Power Electronics GmbH.

effector's three-year grant acceleration

eFFECTOR Therapeutics Inc. shows 6 grants in 2022–2024 against only 8 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.
