What this shows Textron's Innovation Score is 48.4/100 (top 17% 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 Textron?

Each dot is one of Textron’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). Textron’s own 7.7 claims/patent is at or below the 13.4 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Textron's grants concentrate

Textron Aviation Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 13 CPC subclasses with 34.8% of grants classified under B64C (AEROPLANES; Helicopters). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (11 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, Textron sits between Tredegar Film Products LLC and The National Institute for Biotechnology in the Negev Ltd..

Textron's three-year grant acceleration

Textron Aviation Inc. 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.
