What this shows Facc's Innovation Score is 46.9/100 (top 20% 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 Facc?

Each dot is one of Facc’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). Facc’s own 14.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.2 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Facc's grants concentrate

Facc AG is a focused PatentsView assignee: 33 CPC subclasses with 40% of grants classified under Y02T (Climate Change Mitigation Technologies Related TO Transportation). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, Facc sits between Encite LLC and Fuel Automation Station, LLC.

Facc's three-year grant acceleration

Facc AG shows 7 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.
