What this shows Funktion's Innovation Score is 38.6/100 (top 40% 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 Funktion?

Each dot is one of Funktion’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). Funktion’s own 5.4 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 Funktion's grants concentrate

Funktion One Research Limited is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 30% of grants classified under H04R (Loudspeakers, Microphones, Gramophone Pick-ups OR Like Acoustic Electromechanical TRANSDUCERS; Deaf-aid SETS; Public Address Systems). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, Funktion sits between Freedman Seating Company and Gauzy Ltd..

Funktion's three-year grant acceleration

Funktion One Research Limited shows 3 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.
