What this shows Elica's Innovation Score is 27.4/100 (24th 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 Elica?

Each dot is one of Elica’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). Elica’s own 7.7 claims/patent is at or below the 18.0 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Elica's grants concentrate

Elica S.p.A. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 10 CPC subclasses with 50% of grants classified under F24C (Domestic Stoves OR Ranges ; Details OF Domestic Stoves OR Ranges, OF General Application). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, Elica sits between Eaton Industries (NETHERLANDS) B.V. and Emuge-werk Richard Glimpel GMBH & Co. KG Fabrik FUR Prazisionswerkzeuge.

Elica's three-year grant acceleration

Elica S.p.A. 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.
