What this shows DSM's Innovation Score is 54.2/100 (top 8% 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 DSM?

Each dot is one of DSM’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). DSM’s own 20.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.2 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where DSM's grants concentrate

DSM Nutritional Products, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 25 CPC subclasses with 47.6% of grants classified under A61P (Specific Therapeutic Activity OF Chemical Compounds OR Medicinal Preparations). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, DSM sits between Diebold, Inc. and Dimex, LLC.

DSM's three-year grant acceleration

DSM Nutritional Products, LLC shows 6 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
