What this shows Sabanci's Innovation Score is 50.2/100 (top 13% 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 Sabanci?

Each dot is one of Sabanci’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). Sabanci’s own 13.3 claims/patent is at or below the 14.6 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

How Sabanci's grant cadence moved

Between 2020–2024, Sabanci Universitesi received 21 grants versus 14 in 2015–2019 (+50% equal-window velocity, above median growth). Across complete PatentsView years, output peaked in 2021 at 6 grants and bottomed in 2016 at 2. Lead class C12N accounts for 13.9% of the portfolio across 68 subclasses. Volume neighbours: Roadtec, Inc. (#8,907) and Shenzhen Keya Medical Technology Corporation (#8,915).

Sabanci's three-year grant acceleration

Sabanci Universitesi shows 10 grants in 2022–2024 against only 14 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.
