What this shows Motive's Innovation Score is 45.4/100 (top 23% 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 Motive?

Each dot is one of Motive’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). Motive’s own 22.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 18.2 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Motive's grants concentrate

Motive Drilling Technologies, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 100% 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 2021 (11 grants) versus a trough of 3 in 2018. By volume, Motive sits between Malta Inc. and Microsemi Corporation.

Motive's three-year grant acceleration

Motive Drilling Technologies, Inc. shows 18 grants in 2022–2024 against only 19 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.
