What this shows First's Innovation Score is 45.0/100 (top 24% 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.

Where First's grants concentrate

First Institute OF Oceanography, MNR is a focused PatentsView assignee: 10 CPC subclasses with 57.1% of grants classified under Y02A (Technologies FOR Adaptation TO Climate Change). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, First sits between Fil-tec Holdings, Inc. and Flare Audio Technologies Limited.

First's three-year grant acceleration

First Institute OF Oceanography, MNR shows 4 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.
