What this shows UTC's Innovation Score is 39.7/100 (top 38% 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 UTC?

Each dot is one of UTC’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). UTC’s own 15.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 12.6 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where UTC's grants concentrate

UTC Fire & Security Americas Corporation, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 21 CPC subclasses with 33.3% of grants classified under G08B (Signalling OR Calling SYSTEMS; Order TELEGRAPHS; Alarm Systems). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, UTC sits between Universidad Autonoma DE Madrid and Università Degli Studi Di Genova.

UTC's three-year grant acceleration

UTC Fire & Security Americas Corporation, Inc. shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
