What this shows Geophysical's Innovation Score is 27.3/100 (23rd 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 Geophysical?

Each dot is one of Geophysical’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). Geophysical’s own 15.2 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.3 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Geophysical's grants concentrate

Geophysical Technology, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under G01V (GEOPHYSICS; Gravitational MEASUREMENTS; Detecting Masses OR OBJECTS; Tags). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Geophysical sits between Genimex Jersey Ltd. and Georgia-Pacific Wood Products LLC.

Geophysical's three-year grant acceleration

Geophysical Technology, Inc. shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
