What this shows Elan's Innovation Score is 20.9/100 (8th 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 Elan?

Each dot is one of Elan’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). Elan’s own 13.0 claims/patent is at or below the 17.4 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Elan's grants concentrate

Elan, d.o.o. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 1 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under A63C (SKATES; SKIS; Roller SKATES; Design OR Layout OF Courts, Rinks OR THE Like). By volume, Elan sits between EKG Concepts, LLC and Electric Connector Technology Co., Ltd..

Elan's three-year grant acceleration

Elan, d.o.o. shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
