What this shows Darwin's Innovation Score is 65.5/100 (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 Darwin?

Each dot is one of Darwin’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). Darwin’s own 11.1 claims/patent is at or below the 16.2 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Darwin's grants concentrate

Darwin Precisions Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 47 CPC subclasses with 36.2% of grants classified under G02B (Optical Elements, Systems OR Apparatus). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (14 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Darwin sits between Bemis Associates, Inc. and Eaton Cummins Automated Transmission Technologies LLC.

Darwin's three-year grant acceleration

Darwin Precisions Corporation shows 29 grants in 2022–2024 against only 7 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.
