What this shows FPT's Innovation Score is 56.1/100 (top 6% 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 10.9 claims/patent is at or below the 14.2 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 Motorenforschung AG is a focused PatentsView assignee: 28 CPC subclasses with 68.2% of grants classified under Y02T (Climate Change Mitigation Technologies Related TO Transportation). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, FPT sits between Ficomirrors, S.A.U. and Fellow Industries, Inc..

FPT's three-year grant acceleration

FPT Motorenforschung AG shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
