What this shows Ekra's Innovation Score is 47.4/100 (top 19% 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 Ekra?

Each dot is one of Ekra’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). Ekra’s own 14.1 claims/patent is ABOVE the 11.4 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Ekra's grants concentrate

Ekra Automatisierungssysteme GMBH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under B41F (Printing Machines OR Presses). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Ekra sits between EHS Lens Philippines, Inc. and Electric Power Development Co., Ltd..

Ekra's three-year grant acceleration

Ekra Automatisierungssysteme GMBH shows 6 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
