What this shows EMD's Innovation Score is 27.5/100 (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 EMD?

Each dot is one of EMD’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). EMD’s own 10.0 claims/patent is at or below the 17.0 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where EMD's grants concentrate

EMD Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 60% of grants classified under H01J (Electric Discharge Tubes OR Discharge Lamps). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, EMD sits between Elmac Technologies Limited and EMS Engineered Materials Solutions, LLC.

EMD's three-year grant acceleration

EMD Corporation shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
