What this shows DAB's Innovation Score is 35.7/100 (top 49% 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 DAB?

Each dot is one of DAB’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). DAB’s own 7.2 claims/patent is at or below the 9.5 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where DAB's grants concentrate

DAB Pumps S.P.A. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 15 CPC subclasses with 69.6% of grants classified under F04D (Non-positive-displacement Pumps). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, DAB sits between Creator Technology B.V. and Durham University.

DAB's three-year grant acceleration

DAB Pumps S.P.A. shows 10 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.
