What this shows Dutch's Innovation Score is 31.9/100 (39th 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 Dutch?

Each dot is one of Dutch’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). Dutch’s own 9.2 claims/patent is at or below the 16.0 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Dutch's grants concentrate

Dutch Clips LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 37.5% of grants classified under A45F (Travelling OR Camp EQUIPMENT: Sacks OR Packs Carried ON THE Body). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Dutch sits between Domain Surgical, Inc. and Encapsys, LLC.

Dutch's three-year grant acceleration

Dutch Clips LLC shows 8 grants in 2022–2024 against only 9 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.
