What this shows Fine's Innovation Score is 30.4/100 (34th 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 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 10.7 claims/patent is ABOVE the 10.2 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Fine's grants concentrate

Fine Semitech Corp. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 83.3% of grants classified under G03F (Photomechanical Production OF Textured OR Patterned Surfaces, e.g. FOR Printing, FOR Processing OF Semiconductor DEVICES; Materials THEREFOR; Originals THEREFOR; Apparatus Specially Adapted THEREFOR;). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Fine sits between Filtereasy, LLC and First Quality Baby Products, LLC.

Fine's three-year grant acceleration

Fine Semitech Corp. shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
