What this shows Element's Innovation Score is 59.6/100 (top 4% 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 Element?

Each dot is one of Element’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). Element’s own 25.2 claims/patent is ABOVE the 11.5 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Element's grants concentrate

Element Biosciences, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 90.2% of grants classified under C12Q (Measuring OR Testing Processes Involving Enzymes, Nucleic Acids OR Microorganisms ; Compositions OR Test Papers THEREFOR; Processes OF Preparing Such COMPOSITIONS; Condition-responsive Control IN Micr). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (12 grants) versus a trough of 3 in 2020. By volume, Element sits between ConcealFab, Inc. and Fujifilm Toyama Chemical Co., Ltd..

Element's three-year grant acceleration

Element Biosciences, Inc. shows 24 grants in 2022–2024 against only 8 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.
