What this shows Fontaine's Innovation Score is 49.8/100 (top 14% 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 Fontaine?

Each dot is one of Fontaine’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). Fontaine’s own 17.5 claims/patent is at or below the 18.6 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Fontaine's grants concentrate

Fontaine Modification Company is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 75% of grants classified under B62D (Motor VEHICLES; Trailers). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Fontaine sits between Fochon Pharmaceuticals, Ltd. and Forelux Inc..

Fontaine's three-year grant acceleration

Fontaine Modification Company 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.
