What this shows UTC's Innovation Score is 46.9/100 (top 20% 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 13.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 11.4 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 Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 32 CPC subclasses with 20% of grants classified under A62C (Fire-fighting). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (13 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, UTC sits between Tamiras Per Pte. Ltd., LLC and Wing Enterprises, Incorporated.

UTC's three-year grant acceleration

UTC Fire & Security Corporation shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
