What this shows Elme's Innovation Score is 27.0/100 (22nd 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 Elme?

Each dot is one of Elme’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). Elme’s own 17.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 17.4 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Elme's grants concentrate

Elme Spreader AB is a focused PatentsView assignee: 2 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under B66C (CRANES; Load-engaging Elements OR Devices FOR Cranes, Capstans, Winches, OR Tackles). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Elme sits between EKO.AI PTE. Ltd. and Energy Dome S.P.A..

Elme's three-year grant acceleration

Elme Spreader AB shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
