What this shows FMT's Innovation Score is 39.8/100 (top 37% 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 FMT?

Each dot is one of FMT’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). FMT’s own 10.0 claims/patent is at or below the 14.7 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where FMT's grants concentrate

FMT International Trade AB is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 83.3% of grants classified under B63B (Ships OR Other Waterborne VESSELS; Equipment FOR Shipping). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, FMT sits between Flurry Live, Inc. and Fonds DE L'ESPCI—GEORGES Charpak.

FMT's three-year grant acceleration

FMT International Trade AB shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
