What this shows Dana's Innovation Score is 64.8/100 (top 1% 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 Dana?

Each dot is one of Dana’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). Dana’s own 16.2 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.8 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Dana's grants concentrate

Dana Belgium N.V. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 28 CPC subclasses with 56.6% of grants classified under F16H (Gearing). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (34 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Dana sits between Beijing Naura Microelectronics Equipment Co., Ltd. and Idemia France.

Dana's three-year grant acceleration

Dana Belgium N.V. shows 68 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.
