What this shows First's Innovation Score is 45.6/100 (top 23% 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 First?

Each dot is one of First’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). First’s own 14.6 claims/patent is at or below the 18.4 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where First's grants concentrate

First Mode IPP Limited is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 80% of grants classified under H01M (Processes OR Means, e.g. Batteries, FOR THE Direct Conversion OF Chemical Energy Into Electrical Energy). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (3 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2023. By volume, First sits between Fire Innovations LLC and FisherH2O, LLC.

First's three-year grant acceleration

First Mode IPP Limited shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
