What this shows Rival's Innovation Score is 26.2/100 (20th percentile 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 Rival?

Each dot is one of Rival’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). Rival’s own 16.5 claims/patent is ABOVE the 12.8 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Rival's grants concentrate

Rival Downhole Tools LC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 3 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). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Rival sits between Richardson Electronics, Ltd. and Rotor Componentes Tecnologicos, S.L..

Rival's three-year grant acceleration

Rival Downhole Tools LC shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 7 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.
