What this shows Abrado's Innovation Score is 26.5/100 (20th 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 Abrado?

Each dot is one of Abrado’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). Abrado’s own 12.2 claims/patent is at or below the 18.0 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Abrado's grants concentrate

Abrado, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under E21B (Earth OR Rock DRILLING; Obtaining OIL, GAS, Water, Soluble OR Meltable Materials OR A Slurry OF Minerals From Wells). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Abrado sits between A.Y. Laboratories Ltd. and Acer Cloud Technology, Inc..

Abrado's three-year grant acceleration

Abrado, Inc. shows 2 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.
