Does more volume mean deeper claims for OIL?

Each dot is one of OIL’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). OIL’s own 16.2 claims/patent is ABOVE the 13.6 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where OIL's grants concentrate

OIL States Energy Services, L.L.C. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 13 CPC subclasses with 74.3% 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 2021 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, OIL sits between Neuwave Medical, Inc. and P&W Solutions Co., Ltd..

OIL's three-year grant acceleration

OIL States Energy Services, L.L.C. shows 8 grants in 2022–2024 against only 11 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.
