What this shows Raytheon's Innovation Score is 51.9/100 (top 11% 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 13.3 claims/patent is ABOVE the 11.6 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Raytheon's grants concentrate

Raytheon Canada Limited is a focused PatentsView assignee: 30 CPC subclasses with 31.1% of grants classified under G02B (Optical Elements, Systems OR Apparatus). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (10 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2018. By volume, Raytheon sits between Position Imaging, Inc. and Sangamo Biosciences, Inc..

Raytheon's three-year grant acceleration

Raytheon Canada Limited shows 17 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.
