What this shows DST's Innovation Score is 48.0/100 (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 DST?

Each dot is one of DST’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). DST’s own 21.5 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.8 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where DST's grants concentrate

DST Technologies, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 77.3% of grants classified under G06V (Image OR Video Recognition OR Understanding). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (6 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2023. By volume, DST sits between Digiprint IP LLC and Delphian Systems, LLC.

DST's three-year grant acceleration

DST Technologies, Inc. shows 7 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.
