What this shows Fugro's Innovation Score is 40.1/100 (top 36% 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 Fugro?

Each dot is one of Fugro’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). Fugro’s own 21.7 claims/patent is ABOVE the 8.7 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Fugro's grants concentrate

Fugro Technology B.V. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 16 CPC subclasses with 46.7% of grants classified under G01L (Measuring Force, Stress, Torque, Work, Mechanical Power, Mechanical Efficiency, OR Fluid Pressure). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2023. By volume, Fugro sits between Foshan Ruideng Lighting Co., Ltd. and Gaatu Inc.

Fugro's three-year grant acceleration

Fugro Technology B.V. shows 4 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.
