What this shows Degould's Innovation Score is 40.4/100 (top 36% 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 Degould?

Each dot is one of Degould’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). Degould’s own 15.4 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.3 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Degould's grants concentrate

Degould Limited is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 71.4% of grants classified under H04N (Pictorial Communication, e.g. Television). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, Degould sits between Dead SEA Premier Cosmetic Laboratories Ltd. and Dengensha TOA Co., Ltd..

Degould's three-year grant acceleration

Degould Limited shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
