What this shows Gregg's Innovation Score is 49.6/100 (top 14% 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 Gregg?

Each dot is one of Gregg’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). Gregg’s own 19.5 claims/patent is ABOVE the 11.5 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Gregg's grants concentrate

Gregg Drilling, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 10 CPC subclasses with 83.3% 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 2023 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Gregg sits between Green Solution LLC and Groundhog Inc..

Gregg's three-year grant acceleration

Gregg Drilling, LLC shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
