What this shows Federal-mogul's Innovation Score is 37.2/100 (top 44% 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 Federal-mogul?

Each dot is one of Federal-mogul’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). Federal-mogul’s own 10.6 claims/patent is at or below the 15.5 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Federal-mogul's grants concentrate

Federal-Mogul Nurnberg GmbH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 14 CPC subclasses with 95.7% of grants classified under F02F (Cylinders, Pistons OR Casings, FOR Combustion ENGINES; Arrangements OF Sealings IN Combustion Engines). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2023. By volume, Federal-mogul sits between Fuji Manufacturing Co., Ltd. and Fresenius Kabi Oncology Ltd..

Federal-mogul's three-year grant acceleration

Federal-Mogul Nurnberg GmbH shows 7 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.
