What this shows FEV's Innovation Score is 41.5/100 (top 33% 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 FEV?

Each dot is one of FEV’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). FEV’s own 12.6 claims/patent is at or below the 15.0 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where FEV's grants concentrate

FEV Europe GmbH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 33 CPC subclasses with 72% of grants classified under Y02T (Climate Change Mitigation Technologies Related TO Transportation). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2023. By volume, FEV sits between Enveil, Inc. and FaceTec, Inc..

FEV's three-year grant acceleration

FEV Europe GmbH shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 14 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.
