What this shows Abaco's Innovation Score is 50.4/100 (top 13% 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 Abaco?

Each dot is one of Abaco’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). Abaco’s own 23.1 claims/patent is ABOVE the 16.9 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Abaco's grants concentrate

Abaco Drilling Technologies LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 14 CPC subclasses with 76.5% of grants classified under F04C (Rotary-piston, OR Oscillating-piston, Positive-displacement Machines FOR Liquids ; Rotary-piston, OR Oscillating-piston, Positive-displacement Pumps). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, Abaco sits between Atago Co., Ltd. and Accusoft Corporation.

Abaco's three-year grant acceleration

Abaco Drilling Technologies LLC shows 10 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.
