What this shows Fluidigm's Innovation Score is 33.9/100 (46th 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 Fluidigm?

Each dot is one of Fluidigm’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). Fluidigm’s own 18.4 claims/patent is ABOVE the 9.5 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Fluidigm's grants concentrate

Fluidigm Canada Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 91.2% of grants classified under G01N (Investigating OR Analysing Materials BY Determining Their Chemical OR Physical Properties). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (9 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, Fluidigm sits between Free-free Industrial Corp. and GE Sensing & Inspection Technologies GmbH.

Fluidigm's three-year grant acceleration

Fluidigm Canada Inc. shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 12 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.
