What this shows Seabed's Innovation Score is 42.6/100 (top 30% 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 Seabed?

Each dot is one of Seabed’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). Seabed’s own 22.4 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.0 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Seabed's grants concentrate

Seabed Geosolutions B.V. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 15 CPC subclasses with 97.8% of grants classified under G01V (GEOPHYSICS; Gravitational MEASUREMENTS; Detecting Masses OR OBJECTS; Tags). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (10 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Seabed sits between Styra, Inc. and Skyera, LLC.

Seabed's three-year grant acceleration

Seabed Geosolutions B.V. shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 15 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.
