What this shows Elcam'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 Elcam?

Each dot is one of Elcam’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). Elcam’s own 20.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 16.7 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Elcam's grants concentrate

Elcam Medical Agricultural Cooperative Association Ltd is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under A61M (Devices FOR Introducing Media Into, OR Onto, THE Body ; Devices FOR Transducing Body Media OR FOR Taking Media From THE Body ; Devices FOR Producing OR Ending Sleep OR Stupor). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Elcam sits between Edra S.P.A. and Elichens.

Elcam's three-year grant acceleration

Elcam Medical Agricultural Cooperative Association Ltd shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 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.
