What this shows Fujifilm's Innovation Score is 46.4/100 (top 21% 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 Fujifilm?

Each dot is one of Fujifilm’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). Fujifilm’s own 17.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 13.4 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Fujifilm's grants concentrate

Fujifilm Manufacturing Europe B.V. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 31 CPC subclasses with 87.3% of grants classified under B01D (Separation). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (13 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, Fujifilm sits between FMC Kongsberg Subsea AS and Hexcel Composites Limited.

Fujifilm's three-year grant acceleration

Fujifilm Manufacturing Europe B.V. shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 13 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.
