What this shows FIH's Innovation Score is 52.6/100 (top 10% 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 FIH?

Each dot is one of FIH’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). FIH’s own 12.6 claims/patent is at or below the 12.7 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

How FIH's grant cadence moved

Between 2020–2024, FIH (HONG KONG) Limited received 12 grants versus 136 in 2015–2019 (-91% equal-window velocity, below median growth). Across complete PatentsView years, output peaked in 2017 at 54 grants and bottomed in 2021 at 1. Lead class H01Q accounts for 23% of the portfolio across 79 subclasses. Volume neighbours: Barefoot Networks, Inc. (#2,623) and Mitsubishi Aircraft Corporation (#2,631).

FIH's three-year grant acceleration

FIH (HONG KONG) Limited shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 12 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.
