What this shows Faiveley's Innovation Score is 31.8/100 (39th 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 Faiveley?

Each dot is one of Faiveley’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). Faiveley’s own 17.2 claims/patent is at or below the 18.6 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Faiveley's grants concentrate

Faiveley Transport Witten GMBH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under F16D (Couplings FOR Transmitting ROTATION; CLUTCHES; Brakes). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2023. By volume, Faiveley sits between Fachhochschule Aachen and Fallien Cosmeceuticals, Ltd..

Faiveley's three-year grant acceleration

Faiveley Transport Witten GMBH shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
