What this shows Durst's Innovation Score is 27.0/100 (22nd percentile 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 Durst?

Each dot is one of Durst’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). Durst’s own 12.3 claims/patent is at or below the 17.3 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Durst's grants concentrate

Durst Phototechnik Digital Technology GMBH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 44.4% of grants classified under B41J (TYPEWRITERS; Selective Printing Mechanisms, i.e. Mechanisms Printing Otherwise Than From A FORME; Correction OF Typographical Errors). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Durst sits between Dtcc Digital (US) Inc. and Dynex Semiconductor Limited.

Durst's three-year grant acceleration

Durst Phototechnik Digital Technology GMBH shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
