What this shows Element's Innovation Score is 42.9/100 (top 29% 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 15.7 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.9 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 SIX Abrasives S.A. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 27 CPC subclasses with 41.7% of grants classified under E21B (Earth OR Rock DRILLING; Obtaining OIL, GAS, Water, Soluble OR Meltable Materials OR A Slurry OF Minerals From Wells). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (13 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2020. By volume, Element sits between Datalogic ADC, Inc. and G&H Diversified Manufacturing LP.

Element's three-year grant acceleration

Element SIX Abrasives S.A. shows 2 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.
