What this shows Frideco's Innovation Score is 38.5/100 (top 41% 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 Frideco?

Each dot is one of Frideco’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). Frideco’s own 18.4 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.0 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Frideco's grants concentrate

Frideco AG is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under F04D (Non-positive-displacement Pumps). By volume, Frideco sits between Freeform Future Corp. and Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd..

Frideco's three-year grant acceleration

Frideco AG shows 2 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.
