What this shows GT's Innovation Score is 29.7/100 (32nd percentile 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 GT?

Each dot is one of GT’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). GT’s own 18.5 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.1 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where GT's grants concentrate

GT Technologies, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 86.7% of grants classified under F01L (Cyclically Operating Valves FOR Machines OR Engines). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, GT sits between Great Stuff, Inc. and Guardian-i, LLC.

GT's three-year grant acceleration

GT Technologies, Inc. shows 1 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.
