What this shows DL's Innovation Score is 48.5/100 (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 DL?

Each dot is one of DL’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). DL’s own 16.7 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.2 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where DL's grants concentrate

DL Technology, LLC. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 18 CPC subclasses with 77.8% of grants classified under B05C (Apparatus FOR Applying Fluent Materials TO Surfaces, IN General). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, DL sits between Corsair Pharma, Inc. and Discover Financial Services.

DL's three-year grant acceleration

DL Technology, LLC. shows 9 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.
