What this shows OIL's Innovation Score is 46.2/100 (top 21% 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 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 20.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 10.3 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 Industries (UK) Limited is a focused PatentsView assignee: 3 CPC subclasses with 87.5% 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 2023 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, OIL sits between Octo Telematics S.P.A. and Olaplex, Inc..

OIL's three-year grant acceleration

OIL States Industries (UK) Limited shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
