What this shows VIV's Innovation Score is 36.3/100 (top 47% 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 VIV?

Each dot is one of VIV’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). VIV’s own 15.0 claims/patent is at or below the 16.2 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where VIV's grants concentrate

VIV Solutions LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 14 CPC subclasses with 89.3% 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 2015 (8 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, VIV sits between Universite Joseph Fourier—Grenoble 1 and Vibracoustic AG.

VIV's three-year grant acceleration

VIV Solutions LLC shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 8 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.
