What this shows Elekta's Innovation Score is 34.7/100 (49th 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 Elekta?

Each dot is one of Elekta’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). Elekta’s own 17.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.4 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Elekta's grants concentrate

Elekta AB is a focused PatentsView assignee: 14 CPC subclasses with 72.7% of grants classified under A61N (ELECTROTHERAPY; MAGNETOTHERAPY; Radiation THERAPY; Ultrasound Therapy). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Elekta sits between Egg Medical, Inc. and EmendoBio Inc..

Elekta's three-year grant acceleration

Elekta AB shows 1 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.
