What this shows Vetco's Innovation Score is 51.7/100 (top 11% 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 Vetco?

Each dot is one of Vetco’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). Vetco’s own 12.7 claims/patent is at or below the 13.1 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Vetco's grants concentrate

Vetco Gray Scandinavia AS is a focused PatentsView assignee: 43 CPC subclasses with 62.3% 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 (9 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Vetco sits between Umicore Korea Ltd. and iNtRON Biotechnology, Inc..

Vetco's three-year grant acceleration

Vetco Gray Scandinavia AS shows 19 grants in 2022–2024 against only 19 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.
