What this shows Teledyne's Innovation Score is 56.7/100 (top 6% 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 Teledyne?

Each dot is one of Teledyne’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). Teledyne’s own 19.5 claims/patent is ABOVE the 16.5 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Teledyne's grants concentrate

Teledyne Flir, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 19 CPC subclasses with 46.7% of grants classified under H04N (Pictorial Communication, e.g. Television). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (11 grants) versus a trough of 3 in 2023. By volume, Teledyne sits between Tala Energy Limited and The Andersons Inc..

Teledyne's three-year grant acceleration

Teledyne Flir, LLC shows 14 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
