What this shows General's Innovation Score is 36.2/100 (top 47% 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 General?

Each dot is one of General’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). General’s own 17.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 10.2 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where General's grants concentrate

General Dynamics Land Systems—Canada is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 60% of grants classified under H04B (Transmission). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, General sits between Gene Therapy Systems, Inc. and General Manufacturing.

General's three-year grant acceleration

General Dynamics Land Systems—Canada shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
