What this shows DY's Innovation Score is 48.5/100 (top 16% 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 DY?

Each dot is one of DY’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). DY’s own 6.5 claims/patent is at or below the 15.3 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where DY's grants concentrate

DY Auto Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 18 CPC subclasses with 68% of grants classified under B60S (Servicing, Cleaning, Repairing, Supporting, Lifting, OR Manoeuvring OF Vehicles, NOT Otherwise Provided FOR). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, DY sits between Dana TM4 Inc. and Deep Isolation, Inc..

DY's three-year grant acceleration

DY Auto Corporation shows 11 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.
