What this shows Ferton's Innovation Score is 39.3/100 (top 39% 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 Ferton?

Each dot is one of Ferton’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). Ferton’s own 9.0 claims/patent is at or below the 16.1 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Ferton's grants concentrate

Ferton Holding S.A. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 17 CPC subclasses with 50% of grants classified under A61C (DENTISTRY; Apparatus OR Methods FOR Oral OR Dental Hygiene). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Ferton sits between Evonik Industries AG and GE Oil & Gas Compression Systems, LLC.

Ferton's three-year grant acceleration

Ferton Holding S.A. shows 10 grants in 2022–2024 against only 9 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.
