What this shows Dirac's Innovation Score is 34.3/100 (47th 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 Dirac?

Each dot is one of Dirac’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). Dirac’s own 19.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.9 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Dirac's grants concentrate

Dirac Research AB is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 84.6% of grants classified under H04S (Stereophonic Systems). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Dirac sits between Digital Turbine, Inc. and Dometic Corporation.

Dirac's three-year grant acceleration

Dirac Research AB shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
