What this shows DK's Innovation Score is 56.3/100 (top 6% 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 DK?

Each dot is one of DK’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). DK’s own 18.6 claims/patent is ABOVE the 9.9 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where DK's grants concentrate

DK Crown Holdings Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 10 CPC subclasses with 66.1% of grants classified under G07F (Coin-freed OR Like Apparatus). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (29 grants) versus a trough of 6 in 2023. By volume, DK sits between Cyberlink Corp. and Duravit Aktiengesellschaft.

DK's three-year grant acceleration

DK Crown Holdings Inc. shows 35 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
