What this shows FKA's Innovation Score is 37.8/100 (top 43% 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 FKA?

Each dot is one of FKA’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). FKA’s own 4.4 claims/patent is at or below the 16.6 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where FKA's grants concentrate

FKA Distributing Co., LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 13 CPC subclasses with 7.8% of grants classified under A61H (Physical Therapy Apparatus, e.g. Devices FOR Locating OR Stimulating Reflex Points IN THE BODY; Artificial RESPIRATION; MASSAGE; Bathing Devices FOR Special Therapeutic OR Hygienic Purposes OR Specifi). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (14 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2016. By volume, FKA sits between Ekso Bionics Holdings, Inc. and Fontem Ventures B.V..

FKA's three-year grant acceleration

FKA Distributing Co., LLC shows 21 grants in 2022–2024 against only 16 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.
