What this shows Textron's Innovation Score is 62.4/100 (top 2% 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 15.5 claims/patent is ABOVE the 12.3 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Textron's grants concentrate

Textron Systems Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 35 CPC subclasses with 36.4% of grants classified under B64U (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles [UAV]; Equipment Therefor). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (12 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2015. By volume, Textron sits between Tokyo Women's Medical University and The Kansai Electric Power Co., Inc..

Textron's three-year grant acceleration

Textron Systems Corporation shows 22 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 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.
