What this shows Repsol's Innovation Score is 50.5/100 (top 13% 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 Repsol?

Each dot is one of Repsol’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). Repsol’s own 16.2 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.6 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Repsol's grants concentrate

Repsol S.A. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 42 CPC subclasses with 31.9% of grants classified under G01V (GEOPHYSICS; Gravitational MEASUREMENTS; Detecting Masses OR OBJECTS; Tags). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (10 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2015. By volume, Repsol sits between Profil Verbindungstechnik GmbH & Co. KG and Racing Optics, Inc..

Repsol's three-year grant acceleration

Repsol S.A. shows 12 grants in 2022–2024 against only 18 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.
