What this shows Petroliam's Innovation Score is 46.3/100 (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 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 20.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.3 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Petroliam's grants concentrate

Petroliam Nasional Berhad is a focused PatentsView assignee: 18 CPC subclasses with 50% of grants classified under C11C (Fatty Acids From Fats, Oils OR WAXES; CANDLES; Fats, Oils OR Fatty Acids BY Chemical Modification OF Fats, Oils, OR Fatty Acids Obtained Therefrom). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Petroliam sits between Pellion Technologies, Inc. and Phinia Delphi Luxembourg Sarl.

Petroliam's three-year grant acceleration

Petroliam Nasional Berhad shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
