Does more volume mean deeper claims for Flowco?

Each dot is one of Flowco’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). Flowco’s own 16.5 claims/patent is ABOVE the 9.9 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Flowco's grants concentrate

Flowco Production Solutions, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 13 CPC subclasses with 97.1% 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 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Flowco sits between Exactech, Inc. and Fuding Precision Components (SHENZHEN) Co., Ltd..

Flowco's three-year grant acceleration

Flowco Production Solutions, LLC shows 16 grants in 2022–2024 against only 8 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.
