What this shows PDS's Innovation Score is 28.7/100 (28th 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 PDS?

Each dot is one of PDS’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). PDS’s own 12.5 claims/patent is ABOVE the 10.3 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where PDS's grants concentrate

PDS IG Holdings LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 66.7% of grants classified under E06B (Fixed OR Movable Closures FOR Openings IN Buildings, Vehicles, Fences OR Like Enclosures IN General, e.g. Doors, Windows, Blinds, Gates). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, PDS sits between Paua Trading Limited and Pegasor OY.

PDS's three-year grant acceleration

PDS IG Holdings LLC shows 2 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.
