What this shows FMC Technologies DO Brasil LTDA stamps GRANTS-MICRO, MID-PACK, PHOTO-FINISH, CPC-FOCUS, INNOV-THIN, CLAIMS-RICH, TYPE-FRNCORP, VEL-SURGE, BOOK-FULL. Volume places it #17,672 of 50,000; Innovation Score 37.5/100 sits in the top 43% of the PatentsView-derived corpus. Closest grant-volume peer on this plate is Fineheart (±0 grants).
FMC Technologies DO Brasil LTDA has been granted 16 US utility patents between 2019 and 2023, placing FMC Technologies DO Brasil LTDA at #17,672 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 13 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 13.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in E21B (EARTH OR ROCK DRILLING; OBTAINING OIL, GAS, WATER, SOLUBLE OR MELTABLE MATERIALS OR A SLURRY OF MINERALS FROM WELLS). As a Foreign Corporation, FMC Technologies DO Brasil LTDA is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, FMC sits between Fineheart (16 patents, rank #17,657) and Frankie4 IP 1 Pty Ltd (16 patents, rank #17,665) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 37.5/100 blends portfolio volume, grant velocity, technology breadth, and claim depth into a single comparable measure drawn directly from USPTO PatentsView records.
Grant cadence records the difference between two grant-year windows. Between 2020 and 2024 the company received 15 grants, compared with 1 in the 2015–2019 window, a +1400% shift in five-year grant velocity. Both windows cover five complete grant years; the latest PatentsView year is a partial release and is excluded from this comparison, though it still appears in the yearly table and chart below. Grant timing can lag the related application by years, so this comparison does not establish current R&D spending, strategic intent, or a company’s application activity. The Foreign Corporation classification provides context for the assignee record, not a conclusion about its business strategy.
Claim depth and technology breadth describe this aggregate record. FMC Technologies DO Brasil LTDA's 13.9 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 13 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
