What this shows Fisher's Innovation Score is 45.5/100 (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 Fisher?

Each dot is one of Fisher’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). Fisher’s own 16.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.9 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Fisher's grants concentrate

Fisher & Paykel Appliances Limited is a focused PatentsView assignee: 25 CPC subclasses with 64.9% of grants classified under D06F (Laundering, Drying, Ironing, Pressing OR Folding Textile Articles). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Fisher sits between Flow Control LLC and G & W Electric Company.

Fisher's three-year grant acceleration

Fisher & Paykel Appliances Limited shows 7 grants in 2022–2024 against only 9 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.
