What this shows FAM's Innovation Score is 27.4/100 (24th 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 FAM?

Each dot is one of FAM’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). FAM’s own 9.9 claims/patent is at or below the 14.4 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where FAM's grants concentrate

FAM is a focused PatentsView assignee: 2 CPC subclasses with 52.9% of grants classified under B26D (CUTTING; Details Common TO Machines FOR Perforating, Punching, Cutting-out, Stamping-out OR Severing). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (10 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, FAM sits between Enduvo, Inc. and Foster Electric Company, Limited.

FAM's three-year grant acceleration

FAM shows 5 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.
