What this shows Dronedeploy's Innovation Score is 41.8/100 (top 32% 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 Dronedeploy?

Each dot is one of Dronedeploy’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). Dronedeploy’s own 18.6 claims/patent is ABOVE the 8.1 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Dronedeploy's grants concentrate

DroneDeploy, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 55.6% of grants classified under G06T (Image Data Processing OR Generation, IN General). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2023. By volume, Dronedeploy sits between Dow Quimica De Colombia S.A. and Dust Free, LP.

Dronedeploy's three-year grant acceleration

DroneDeploy, 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.
