What this shows DTN's Innovation Score is 41.4/100 (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 DTN?

Each dot is one of DTN’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). DTN’s own 18.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.3 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where DTN's grants concentrate

DTN, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 14 CPC subclasses with 83.3% of grants classified under G01W (Meteorology). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, DTN sits between Douglas Scientific, LLC and Dynapower Company LLC.

DTN's three-year grant acceleration

DTN, LLC shows 6 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.
