Where Devon's grants concentrate

Devon Energy Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 70% 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 2021 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Devon sits between DE Greef's Wagen-, Carrosserie-en Machinebouw B.v and Digiwin Co., Ltd..

Devon's three-year grant acceleration

Devon Energy Corporation shows 5 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.
