What this shows Design's Innovation Score is 24.6/100 (15th percentile 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 Design?

Each dot is one of Design’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). Design’s own 4.7 claims/patent is at or below the 12.4 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Design's grants concentrate

Design Infini, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 26.9% of grants classified under B60B (Vehicle Wheels ; CASTORS; Axles FOR Wheels OR CASTORS; Increasing Wheel Adhesion). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (9 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Design sits between DOT Incorporation and Ejot GmbH & Co. KG.

Design's three-year grant acceleration

Design Infini, Inc. shows 6 grants in 2022–2024 against only 12 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.
