What this shows Digital Surgery Limited stamps GRANTS-SMALL, UPPER-Q, PHOTO-FINISH, CPC-FOCUS, INNOV-PAR, CLAIMS-PAR, TYPE-FRNCORP, VEL-SURGE, BOOK-FULL. Volume places it #12,411 of 50,000; Innovation Score 41.0/100 sits in the top 34% of the PatentsView-derived corpus. Closest grant-volume peer on this plate is Dapper Labs, Inc. (±0 grants).
Digital Surgery Limited has been granted 24 US utility patents between 2018 and 2025, placing Digital Surgery Limited at #12,411 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 11 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 11.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in G06V (IMAGE OR VIDEO RECOGNITION OR UNDERSTANDING). As a Foreign Corporation, Digital Surgery Limited is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Digital sits between DEKA Biosciences, Inc. (24 patents, rank #12,402) and Dapper Labs, Inc. (24 patents, rank #12,410) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 41.0/100 blends portfolio volume, grant velocity, technology breadth, and claim depth into a single comparable measure drawn directly from USPTO PatentsView records.
Grant cadence records the difference between two grant-year windows. Between 2020 and 2024 the company received 14 grants, compared with 3 in the 2015–2019 window, a +367% shift in five-year grant velocity. Both windows cover five complete grant years; the latest PatentsView year is a partial release and is excluded from this comparison, though it still appears in the yearly table and chart below. Grant timing can lag the related application by years, so this comparison does not establish current R&D spending, strategic intent, or a company’s application activity. The Foreign Corporation classification provides context for the assignee record, not a conclusion about its business strategy.
Claim depth and technology breadth describe this aggregate record. Digital Surgery Limited's 11.8 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 11 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
