What this shows Fast's Innovation Score is 48.3/100 (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 Fast?

Each dot is one of Fast’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). Fast’s own 10.0 claims/patent is at or below the 15.3 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Fast's grants concentrate

Fast IP, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 79.7% of grants classified under A43B (Characteristic Features OF FOOTWEAR; Parts OF Footwear). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (17 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Fast sits between D2S, Inc. and Gecko Robotics, Inc..

Fast's three-year grant acceleration

Fast IP, LLC shows 34 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.
