What this shows Fraba's Innovation Score is 43.8/100 (top 27% 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 Fraba?

Each dot is one of Fraba’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). Fraba’s own 13.0 claims/patent is ABOVE the 11.2 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Fraba's grants concentrate

Fraba B.V. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 18 CPC subclasses with 56.5% of grants classified under G01D (Measuring NOT Specially Adapted FOR A Specific VARIABLE; Arrangements FOR Measuring TWO OR More Variables NOT Covered IN A Single Other SUBCLASS; Tariff Metering APPARATUS; Measuring OR Testing NOT OT). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Fraba sits between Federal-mogul Valvetrain GMBH and Fuji Medical Instruments MFG. Co., Ltd..

Fraba's three-year grant acceleration

Fraba B.V. shows 12 grants in 2022–2024 against only 8 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.
