What this shows J.'s Innovation Score is 55.3/100 (top 7% 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 J.?

Each dot is one of J.’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). J.’s own 14.6 claims/patent is ABOVE the 8.9 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where J.'s grants concentrate

J. Ray McDermott, S.A. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 21 CPC subclasses with 42.1% of grants classified under F16L (PIPES; Joints OR Fittings FOR PIPES; Supports FOR Pipes, Cables OR Protective TUBING; Means FOR Thermal Insulation IN General). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, J. sits between Intelligent Security Systems Corporation and Joinset Co., Ltd..

J.'s three-year grant acceleration

J. Ray McDermott, S.A. shows 11 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.
