What this shows First's Innovation Score is 20.9/100 (8th 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 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 4.2 claims/patent is at or below the 17.5 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 Reaction Ltd is a focused PatentsView assignee: 2 CPC subclasses with 16.7% of grants classified under A62C (Fire-fighting). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, First sits between Fini Nuair S.P.A. and FIT & Fresh, Inc..

First's three-year grant acceleration

First Reaction Ltd shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
