What this shows Ficosa's Innovation Score is 33.4/100 (44th percentile 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 Ficosa?

Each dot is one of Ficosa’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). Ficosa’s own 14.9 claims/patent is at or below the 16.6 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Ficosa's grants concentrate

Ficosa North America Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 38.5% of grants classified under F16H (Gearing). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Ficosa sits between Falkonry Inc. and Flagship Brands, LLC.

Ficosa's three-year grant acceleration

Ficosa North America Corporation shows 5 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.
