What this shows Tyco's Innovation Score is 30.6/100 (35th percentile 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 Tyco?

Each dot is one of Tyco’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). Tyco’s own 18.1 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.7 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Tyco's grants concentrate

Tyco Electronics Austria GmbH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 87.5% of grants classified under H01H (Electric SWITCHES; RELAYS; SELECTORS; Emergency Protective Devices). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Tyco sits between TriLite Technologies GmbH and Ujet, Inc..

Tyco's three-year grant acceleration

Tyco Electronics Austria GmbH shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 10 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.
