What this shows YPF's Innovation Score is 48.1/100 (top 17% 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 YPF?

Each dot is one of YPF’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). YPF’s own 9.7 claims/patent is at or below the 15.5 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where YPF's grants concentrate

YPF TECNOLOGÍA S.A. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 37 CPC subclasses with 40% 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 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, YPF sits between Wayfair LLC and Zerto Ltd..

YPF's three-year grant acceleration

YPF TECNOLOGÍA S.A. shows 16 grants in 2022–2024 against only 12 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.
