What this shows Faurecia's Innovation Score is 38.0/100 (top 42% 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 Faurecia?

Each dot is one of Faurecia’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). Faurecia’s own 14.1 claims/patent is ABOVE the 12.8 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Faurecia's grants concentrate

Faurecia Automotive Industrie is a focused PatentsView assignee: 19 CPC subclasses with 63.2% of grants classified under B60R (Vehicles, Vehicle Fittings, OR Vehicle Parts, NOT Otherwise Provided FOR). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Faurecia sits between Evolved Wireless LLC and Firetide, Inc..

Faurecia's three-year grant acceleration

Faurecia Automotive Industrie shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 7 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.
