What this shows Digital's Innovation Score is 41.0/100 (top 34% 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 11.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 11.0 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 Surgery Limited is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 58.3% of grants classified under G06V (Image OR Video Recognition OR Understanding). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Digital sits between Deka Biosciences, Inc. and Dapper Labs, Inc..

Digital's three-year grant acceleration

Digital Surgery Limited shows 10 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 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.
