What this shows Raytheon's Innovation Score is 40.9/100 (top 34% 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 Raytheon?

Each dot is one of Raytheon’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). Raytheon’s own 16.1 claims/patent is at or below the 17.6 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Raytheon's grants concentrate

Raytheon Applied Signal Technology, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 13 CPC subclasses with 35% of grants classified under H04L (Transmission OF Digital Information, e.g. Telegraphic Communication). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Raytheon sits between Rackmount International B.V. and Rexnord Industries, LLC.

Raytheon's three-year grant acceleration

Raytheon Applied Signal Technology, Inc. shows 6 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
