What this shows Honeywell's Innovation Score is 47.8/100 (top 18% 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 Honeywell?

Each dot is one of Honeywell’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). Honeywell’s own 18.2 claims/patent is ABOVE the 13.0 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Honeywell's grants concentrate

Honeywell Limited is a focused PatentsView assignee: 33 CPC subclasses with 39% of grants classified under G05B (Control OR Regulating Systems IN GENERAL; Functional Elements OF Such SYSTEMS; Monitoring OR Testing Arrangements FOR Such Systems OR Elements). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (9 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Honeywell sits between Halo International Sezc Ltd. and Intact Vascular, Inc..

Honeywell's three-year grant acceleration

Honeywell Limited shows 6 grants in 2022–2024 against only 11 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.
