What this shows Davol's Innovation Score is 49.0/100 (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 Davol?

Each dot is one of Davol’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). Davol’s own 20.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 12.5 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Davol's grants concentrate

Davol Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 69.2% of grants classified under A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; Identification). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Davol sits between Dominion Energy, Inc. and Efficient Energy GMBH.

Davol's three-year grant acceleration

Davol Inc. shows 13 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 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.
