What this shows DB's Innovation Score is 39.1/100 (top 39% 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 DB?

Each dot is one of DB’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). DB’s own 4.8 claims/patent is at or below the 14.5 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where DB's grants concentrate

DB Equipment AS is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 20% of grants classified under A45C (PURSES; LUGGAGE; Hand Carried Bags). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, DB sits between Dalian Rongkepower Co., Ltd and Deutsches Rheuma-forschungszentrum Berlin.

DB's three-year grant acceleration

DB Equipment AS shows 6 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
