What this shows Fieldpiece's Innovation Score is 46.2/100 (top 21% 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 Fieldpiece?

Each dot is one of Fieldpiece’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). Fieldpiece’s own 4.0 claims/patent is at or below the 17.6 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Fieldpiece's grants concentrate

Fieldpiece Instruments, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 18.8% of grants classified under F25B (Refrigeration Machines, Plants OR SYSTEMS; Combined Heating AND Refrigeration SYSTEMS; Heat Pump Systems). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (11 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Fieldpiece sits between Fabric8labs, Inc. and Fractus Antennas, S.L..

Fieldpiece's three-year grant acceleration

Fieldpiece Instruments, Inc. shows 21 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
