What this shows Ekos's Innovation Score is 31.8/100 (39th 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 Ekos?

Each dot is one of Ekos’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). Ekos’s own 11.4 claims/patent is at or below the 16.0 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Ekos's grants concentrate

Ekos Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 78.6% of grants classified under A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; Identification). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Ekos sits between Delos Living LLC and Encore Packaging LLC.

Ekos's three-year grant acceleration

Ekos Corporation shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 10 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.
