What this shows Digital's Innovation Score is 48.7/100 (top 16% 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 19.0 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.7 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Digital's grants concentrate

Digital Ally, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 23 CPC subclasses with 76.5% of grants classified under H04N (Pictorial Communication, e.g. Television). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (8 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2017. By volume, Digital sits between D&M Holdings Inc. and Ekso Bionics Holdings, Inc..

Digital's three-year grant acceleration

Digital Ally, Inc. shows 18 grants in 2022–2024 against only 18 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.
