What this shows EKU's Innovation Score is 33.5/100 (45th 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 EKU?

Each dot is one of EKU’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). EKU’s own 20.1 claims/patent is ABOVE the 9.5 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where EKU's grants concentrate

EKU Power Drives GMBH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 75% of grants classified under F04B (Positive-displacement Machines FOR LIQUIDS; Pumps). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, EKU sits between Egenpower Inc. and Electrophor, Inc..

EKU's three-year grant acceleration

EKU Power Drives GMBH shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
