Portfolio overview

Raytheon Systems Limited has been granted 15 US utility patents between 2020 and 2024, placing Raytheon Systems Limited at #19,072 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 13 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 18.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in 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). As a Foreign Corporation, Raytheon Systems Limited is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Raytheon sits between Rapala VMC Oyj (15 patents, rank #19,082) and Rememdia LC (15 patents, rank #19,090) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 53.5/100 blends portfolio volume, grant velocity, technology breadth, and claim depth into a single comparable measure drawn directly from USPTO PatentsView records.

Grant cadence records the difference between two grant-year windows. Historical data spans 2020 through 2024, with 15 total grants over that period. Grant timing can lag the related application by years, so this comparison does not establish current R&D spending, strategic intent, or a company’s application activity. The Foreign Corporation classification provides context for the assignee record, not a conclusion about its business strategy.

Claim depth and technology breadth describe this aggregate record. Raytheon Systems Limited's 18.5 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 13 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
