What this shows DLP's Innovation Score is 35.2/100 (top 50% 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.

Where DLP's grants concentrate

DLP Limited is a focused PatentsView assignee: 14 CPC subclasses with 33.3% of grants classified under A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; Identification). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, DLP sits between Direct AIR Capture, LLC and DNA Polymerase Technology, Inc..

DLP's three-year grant acceleration

DLP Limited shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
