What this shows Belden's Innovation Score is 52.5/100 (top 10% 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 Belden?

Each dot is one of Belden’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). Belden’s own 23.6 claims/patent is ABOVE the 16.7 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Belden's grants concentrate

Belden Canada ULC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 65.5% of grants classified under G02B (Optical Elements, Systems OR Apparatus). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (7 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2022. By volume, Belden sits between B&W Group Ltd. and Barclays Execution Services Limited.

Belden's three-year grant acceleration

Belden Canada ULC shows 15 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 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.
