What this shows Sanofi'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 Sanofi?

Each dot is one of Sanofi’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). Sanofi’s own 20.7 claims/patent is ABOVE the 10.6 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Sanofi's grants concentrate

Sanofi Pasteur, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 15 CPC subclasses with 84.1% of grants classified under A61K (Preparations FOR Medical, Dental OR Toiletry Purposes). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (11 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2019. By volume, Sanofi sits between Rebellions Inc. and THE University OF Ottawa.

Sanofi's three-year grant acceleration

Sanofi Pasteur, Inc. shows 24 grants in 2022–2024 against only 17 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.
