What this shows FPT's Innovation Score is 47.6/100 (top 18% 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 FPT?

Each dot is one of FPT’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). FPT’s own 13.5 claims/patent is at or below the 14.6 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where FPT's grants concentrate

FPT Industrial S.P.A is a focused PatentsView assignee: 37 CPC subclasses with 48.6% of grants classified under Y02T (Climate Change Mitigation Technologies Related TO Transportation). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (7 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2016. By volume, FPT sits between Expel, Inc. and Garlock Sealing Technologies LLC.

FPT's three-year grant acceleration

FPT Industrial S.P.A shows 11 grants in 2022–2024 against only 13 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.
