What this shows Bench's Innovation Score is 48.2/100 (top 17% 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 Bench?

Each dot is one of Bench’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). Bench’s own 14.3 claims/patent is at or below the 17.1 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Bench's grants concentrate

Bench Tree Group, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 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 2023 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Bench sits between Baicells Technologies Co. Ltd. and Blakely Ventures, LLC.

Bench's three-year grant acceleration

Bench Tree Group, LLC shows 14 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.
