What this shows Raytheon's Innovation Score is 53.5/100 (top 9% 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 18.5 claims/patent is ABOVE the 17.5 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 Systems Limited is a focused PatentsView assignee: 13 CPC subclasses with 40% of grants classified under G01S (Radio DIRECTION-FINDING; Radio NAVIGATION; Determining Distance OR Velocity BY USE OF Radio WAVES; Locating OR Presence-detecting BY USE OF THE Reflection OR Reradiation OF Radio WAVES; Analogous Arra). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (6 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2020. By volume, Raytheon sits between Rapala VMC Oyj and Rememdia LC.

Raytheon's three-year grant acceleration

Raytheon Systems Limited shows 13 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
