What this shows Elbi's Innovation Score is 36.3/100 (top 47% 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 Elbi?

Each dot is one of Elbi’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). Elbi’s own 10.0 claims/patent is at or below the 15.3 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Elbi's grants concentrate

Elbi International S.P.A is a focused PatentsView assignee: 25 CPC subclasses with 37.5% of grants classified under A47L (Domestic Washing OR Cleaning ; Suction Cleaners IN General). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2023. By volume, Elbi sits between Current Products Company, LLC and ETS Lindgren Inc..

Elbi's three-year grant acceleration

Elbi International S.P.A shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 12 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.
