What this shows F-1's Innovation Score is 15.7/100 (3rd 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 F-1?

Each dot is one of F-1’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). F-1’s own 1.3 claims/patent is at or below the 15.1 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where F-1's grants concentrate

F-1 Research LLC—Patent Series is a focused PatentsView assignee: 2 CPC subclasses with 7.1% of grants classified under F41C (Smallarms, e.g. Pistols, Rifles ; Accessories Therefor). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, F-1 sits between Evolve MEP, LLC and Federal Card Services, LLC.

F-1's three-year grant acceleration

F-1 Research LLC—Patent Series shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 11 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.
