What this shows Microfabrica's Innovation Score is 51.7/100 (top 11% 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 Microfabrica?

Each dot is one of Microfabrica’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). Microfabrica’s own 18.1 claims/patent is ABOVE the 10.9 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Microfabrica's grants concentrate

Microfabrica Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 28 CPC subclasses with 42.4% of grants classified under G01R (Measuring Electric VARIABLES; Measuring Magnetic Variables). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (10 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Microfabrica sits between Kyung Chang Industrial Co., Ltd. and Orion Corporation.

Microfabrica's three-year grant acceleration

Microfabrica Inc. shows 18 grants in 2022–2024 against only 15 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.
