What this shows Flocon's Innovation Score is 30.2/100 (33rd 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 Flocon?

Each dot is one of Flocon’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). Flocon’s own 11.9 claims/patent is at or below the 13.4 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Flocon's grants concentrate

Flocon, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 38.5% of grants classified under B43K (Implements FOR Writing OR Drawing). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Flocon sits between Ficosa Adas, S.L.U. and Four Paws Products, Ltd..

Flocon's three-year grant acceleration

Flocon, Inc. shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 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.
