Does more volume mean deeper claims for Ontarget?
Each dot is one of Ontarget’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). Ontarget’s own 13.6 claims/patent is at or below the 16.2 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.
Where Ontarget's grants concentrate
OnTarget Drilling, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 2 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). By volume, Ontarget sits between On Track Innovations Ltd. and Oncorus, Inc..
Ontarget's three-year grant acceleration
OnTarget Drilling, LLC shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
