What this shows Sanden's Innovation Score is 32.1/100 (40th 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 Sanden?

Each dot is one of Sanden’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). Sanden’s own 7.2 claims/patent is at or below the 12.5 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Sanden's grants concentrate

Sanden Automotive Components Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 12 CPC subclasses with 41.7% of grants classified under F04B (Positive-displacement Machines FOR LIQUIDS; Pumps). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Sanden sits between Safran Identity & Security and Schroll Management ApS.

Sanden's three-year grant acceleration

Sanden Automotive Components Corporation shows 6 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.
