What this shows Fluid's Innovation Score is 32.4/100 (41st 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 Fluid?

Each dot is one of Fluid’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). Fluid’s own 19.4 claims/patent is at or below the 19.4 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Fluid's grants concentrate

Fluid Management Systems, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 40% of grants classified under G01F (Measuring Volume, Volume Flow, Mass Flow OR Liquid LEVEL; Metering BY Volume). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Fluid sits between Flow Polymers, LLC and Flybrid Automotive Limited.

Fluid's three-year grant acceleration

Fluid Management Systems, Inc. shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
