Does more volume mean deeper claims for Ely?

Each dot is one of Ely’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). Ely’s own 15.3 claims/patent is at or below the 19.1 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Ely's grants concentrate

Ely and Associates, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 87.5% 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 2022 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Ely sits between Electronic Scripting Products, Inc. and Emhiser Research Limited.

Ely's three-year grant acceleration

Ely and Associates, LLC shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
