What this shows Grant's Innovation Score is 58.7/100 (top 4% 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 Grant?

Each dot is one of Grant’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). Grant’s own 17.2 claims/patent is ABOVE the 6.6 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Grant's grants concentrate

Grant Prideco, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 25 CPC subclasses with 66.7% 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 2024 (10 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2022. By volume, Grant sits between Globegou WZ Co., Ltd. and Guavus, Inc..

Grant's three-year grant acceleration

Grant Prideco, Inc. shows 15 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
