What this shows Fine's Innovation Score is 40.9/100 (top 34% 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 Fine?

Each dot is one of Fine’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). Fine’s own 11.5 claims/patent is at or below the 18.2 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Fine's grants concentrate

Fine M-tec Co., Ltd is a focused PatentsView assignee: 30 CPC subclasses with 61% of grants classified under G01F (Measuring Volume, Volume Flow, Mass Flow OR Liquid LEVEL; Metering BY Volume). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (11 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, Fine sits between Cujo LLC and Foret Plasma Labs, LLC.

Fine's three-year grant acceleration

Fine M-tec Co., Ltd shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 8 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.
