What this shows Derq's Innovation Score is 44.9/100 (top 24% 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 Derq?

Each dot is one of Derq’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). Derq’s own 24.2 claims/patent is ABOVE the 13.8 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Derq's grants concentrate

Derq Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under G08G (Traffic Control Systems). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Derq sits between DBG Group Investments, LLC and Discord Inc..

Derq's three-year grant acceleration

Derq Inc. shows 8 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
