What this shows Dal-tile's Innovation Score is 49.2/100 (top 15% 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 Dal-tile?

Each dot is one of Dal-tile’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). Dal-tile’s own 16.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.3 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Dal-tile's grants concentrate

Dal-Tile, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 22 CPC subclasses with 48.6% of grants classified under E04F (Finishing Work ON Buildings, e.g. Stairs, Floors). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (8 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Dal-tile sits between Doosan Fuel Cell America, Inc. and DigitalOptics Corporation Mems.

Dal-tile's three-year grant acceleration

Dal-Tile, LLC shows 18 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.
