What this shows FD's Innovation Score is 37.8/100 (top 43% 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 FD?

Each dot is one of FD’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). FD’s own 18.6 claims/patent is ABOVE the 10.4 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where FD's grants concentrate

FD IP & Licensing LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under G06T (Image Data Processing OR Generation, IN General). By volume, FD sits between FB Industries Inc. and Fetu Limited.

FD's three-year grant acceleration

FD IP & Licensing LLC shows 2 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.
