What this shows L3harris's Innovation Score is 73.3/100 (top 1% 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 L3harris?

Each dot is one of L3harris’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). L3harris’s own 19.4 claims/patent is ABOVE the 13.7 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

How L3harris's grant cadence moved

Grant history spans 2020–2025. Across complete PatentsView years, output peaked in 2023 at 37 grants and bottomed in 2021 at 6. Lead class H04L accounts for 30.2% of the portfolio across 70 subclasses. Volume neighbours: Hisense Electric Co., Ltd. (#3,014) and Piolax, Inc. (#3,022).

L3harris's three-year grant acceleration

L3Harris Technologies, Inc. shows 79 grants in 2022–2024 against only 16 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.
