What this shows ETS's Innovation Score is 37.9/100 (top 42% 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 ETS?

Each dot is one of ETS’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). ETS’s own 15.3 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.4 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where ETS's grants concentrate

ETS Lindgren Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 14 CPC subclasses with 53.1% of grants classified under H04B (Transmission). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2023. By volume, ETS sits between Elbi International S.P.A and Eko Sport, Inc..

ETS's three-year grant acceleration

ETS Lindgren Inc. shows 6 grants in 2022–2024 against only 12 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.
