What this shows FIO's Innovation Score is 41.2/100 (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 FIO?

Each dot is one of FIO’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). FIO’s own 22.2 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.8 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where FIO's grants concentrate

FIO Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 14 CPC subclasses with 77.8% of grants classified under G01N (Investigating OR Analysing Materials BY Determining Their Chemical OR Physical Properties). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, FIO sits between Fibracast Ltd. and Forest Laboratories Holdings Limited.

FIO's three-year grant acceleration

FIO Corporation 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.
