What this shows Friend's Innovation Score is 33.5/100 (45th percentile 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 Friend?

Each dot is one of Friend’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). Friend’s own 13.9 claims/patent is at or below the 14.0 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Friend's grants concentrate

Friend Success Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 50% of grants classified under A01M (Catching, Trapping OR Scaring OF Animals ; Apparatus FOR THE Destruction OF Noxious Animals OR Noxious Plants). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Friend sits between FreeWave Technologies, Inc. and Fu Tai Industry (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd..

Friend's three-year grant acceleration

Friend Success Inc. shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
