Does more volume mean deeper claims for Independence?

Each dot is one of Independence’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). Independence’s own 24.6 claims/patent is ABOVE the 10.4 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Independence's grants concentrate

Independence Oilfield Chemicals LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under C09K (Materials FOR Miscellaneous Applications, NOT Provided FOR Elsewhere). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Independence sits between Imricor Medical Systems, Inc. and Infovista SAS.

Independence's three-year grant acceleration

Independence Oilfield Chemicals LLC shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
