What this shows DEB's Innovation Score is 43.7/100 (top 27% 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 DEB?

Each dot is one of DEB’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). DEB’s own 13.5 claims/patent is at or below the 15.3 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where DEB's grants concentrate

DEB IP Limited is a focused PatentsView assignee: 25 CPC subclasses with 48% of grants classified under A47K (Sanitary Equipment NOT Otherwise Provided FOR ; Toilet Accessories). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (5 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2015. By volume, DEB sits between Cree Fayetteville, Inc. and Dystar Colours Distribution GMBH.

DEB's three-year grant acceleration

DEB IP Limited shows 7 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.
