Does more volume mean deeper claims for Drillform?
Each dot is one of Drillform’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). Drillform’s own 14.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 10.1 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.
Where Drillform's grants concentrate
Drillform Technical Services Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 90.9% 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 2019 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, Drillform sits between Dornbracht AG & Co. KG and DeZURIK, Inc..
Drillform's three-year grant acceleration
Drillform Technical Services Ltd. shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 7 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.
