What this shows Fractus's Innovation Score is 35.4/100 (top 50% 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 Fractus?

Each dot is one of Fractus’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). Fractus’s own 22.5 claims/patent is ABOVE the 13.9 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Fractus's grants concentrate

Fractus, S.A. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 3 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under H01Q (Antennas, i.e. Radio Aerials). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (14 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, Fractus sits between FCI Co., Ltd. and GKN Sinter Metals Engineering GmbH.

Fractus's three-year grant acceleration

Fractus, S.A. shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 9 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.
