Does more volume mean deeper claims for Petroliam?

Each dot is one of Petroliam’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). Petroliam’s own 16.5 claims/patent is ABOVE the 16.0 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

How Petroliam's grant cadence moved

Between 2020–2024, Petroliam Nasional Berhad (PETRONAS) received 18 grants versus 15 in 2015–2019 (+20% equal-window velocity, above median growth). Across complete PatentsView years, output peaked in 2024 at 7 grants and bottomed in 2015 at 1. Lead class B01D accounts for 31% of the portfolio across 58 subclasses. Volume neighbours: Ortronics, Inc. (#7,751) and Powdertech Co., Ltd. (#7,759).

Petroliam's three-year grant acceleration

Petroliam Nasional Berhad (PETRONAS) shows 11 grants in 2022–2024 against only 10 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.
