What this shows Digital's Innovation Score is 28.3/100 (27th 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 Digital?

Each dot is one of Digital’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). Digital’s own 26.2 claims/patent is ABOVE the 17.0 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.
