What this shows OPW's Innovation Score is 46.9/100 (top 20% 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 OPW?

Each dot is one of OPW’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). OPW’s own 25.2 claims/patent is ABOVE the 19.0 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where OPW's grants concentrate

OPW Fueling Components, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 80% of grants classified under B67D (Dispensing, Delivering OR Transferring Liquids, NOT Otherwise Provided FOR). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, OPW sits between OBI Pharma, Inc. and Optodot Corporation.

OPW's three-year grant acceleration

OPW Fueling Components, LLC shows 8 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 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.
