What this shows First's Innovation Score is 46.6/100 (top 20% 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 19.6 claims/patent is ABOVE the 17.2 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where First's grants concentrate

First Quality Tissue Se, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under D21F (Paper-making MACHINES; Methods OF Producing Paper Thereon). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, First sits between FireKing Security Products, LLC and Fiskars Home Oy Ab.

First's three-year grant acceleration

First Quality Tissue Se, LLC 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.
