What this shows Encore's Innovation Score is 32.1/100 (40th 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 Encore?

Each dot is one of Encore’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). Encore’s own 6.9 claims/patent is at or below the 16.8 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Encore's grants concentrate

Encore Packaging LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 32.1% of grants classified under B65B (Machines, Apparatus OR Devices FOR, OR Methods OF, Packaging Articles OR MATERIALS; Unpacking). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Encore sits between Ekos Corporation and FM Marketing GMBH.

Encore's three-year grant acceleration

Encore Packaging LLC shows 7 grants in 2022–2024 against only 10 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.
