What this shows FRX's Innovation Score is 36.9/100 (top 45% 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 FRX?

Each dot is one of FRX’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). FRX’s own 19.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 10.1 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where FRX's grants concentrate

FRX Polymers, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 15 CPC subclasses with 93.3% of grants classified under C08L (Compositions OF Macromolecular Compounds). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, FRX sits between Foundation Brakes France and Fulton Group N.A., Inc..

FRX's three-year grant acceleration

FRX Polymers, Inc. shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
