What this shows Draeger's Innovation Score is 41.3/100 (top 33% 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 Draeger?

Each dot is one of Draeger’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). Draeger’s own 13.1 claims/patent is at or below the 13.8 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Draeger's grants concentrate

Draeger Medical Systems, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 23 CPC subclasses with 33.3% of grants classified under A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; Identification). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (11 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, Draeger sits between Daniel Measurement and Control, Inc. and Encell Technology, Inc..

Draeger's three-year grant acceleration

Draeger Medical Systems, Inc. shows 3 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.
