What this shows GS's Innovation Score is 42.9/100 (top 29% 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 GS?

Each dot is one of GS’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). GS’s own 11.5 claims/patent is at or below the 14.9 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where GS's grants concentrate

GS Caltex Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 28 CPC subclasses with 42.9% of grants classified under Y02E (Reduction OF Greenhouse GAS [GHG] Emissions, Related TO Energy Generation, Transmission OR Distribution). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, GS sits between Fresh Idea Global Limited and Global Mixed-mode Technology Inc..

GS's three-year grant acceleration

GS Caltex Corporation shows 6 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.
