What this shows D&r's Innovation Score is 48.4/100 (top 17% 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 D&r?

Each dot is one of D&r’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). D&r’s own 20.3 claims/patent is ABOVE the 13.8 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where D&r's grants concentrate

D&R Tech LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 75% of grants classified under Y04S (Systems Integrating Technologies Related TO Power Network Operation, Communication OR Information Technologies FOR Improving THE Electrical Power Generation, Transmission, Distribution, Management OR ). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, D&r sits between Cytlimic Inc. and Daiken Medical Co., Ltd..

D&r's three-year grant acceleration

D&R Tech LLC shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
