What this shows Emotiv's Innovation Score is 34.5/100 (48th 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 Emotiv?

Each dot is one of Emotiv’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). Emotiv’s own 18.6 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.6 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Emotiv's grants concentrate

Emotiv Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 71.4% of grants classified under A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; Identification). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Emotiv sits between Elive LLC and Eriez Manufacturing Co..

Emotiv's three-year grant acceleration

Emotiv Inc. shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
