Does more volume mean deeper claims for FMC?

Each dot is one of FMC’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). FMC’s own 13.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 4.7 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where FMC's grants concentrate

FMC Technologies DO Brasil Ltda is a focused PatentsView assignee: 13 CPC subclasses with 81.3% of grants classified under E21B (Earth OR Rock DRILLING; Obtaining OIL, GAS, Water, Soluble OR Meltable Materials OR A Slurry OF Minerals From Wells). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, FMC sits between Fineheart and Frankie4 IP 1 Pty Ltd.

FMC's three-year grant acceleration

FMC Technologies DO Brasil Ltda shows 8 grants in 2022–2024 against only 8 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.
