What this shows Dr's Innovation Score is 36.5/100 (top 46% 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 Dr?

Each dot is one of Dr’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). Dr’s own 6.8 claims/patent is at or below the 11.5 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Dr's grants concentrate

Dr Pepper/Seven Up, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 23.1% of grants classified under A23L (Foods, Foodstuffs OR Non-alcoholic Beverages, NOT Otherwise Provided FOR; Preparation OR Treatment Thereof). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Dr sits between Dominant Technologies, LLC and E*TRADE Financial Holdings, LLC.

Dr's three-year grant acceleration

Dr Pepper/Seven Up, Inc. shows 4 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.
