What this shows Sonitor's Innovation Score is 59.9/100 (top 4% 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 Sonitor?

Each dot is one of Sonitor’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). Sonitor’s own 19.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 12.7 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Sonitor's grants concentrate

Sonitor Technologies AS is a focused PatentsView assignee: 16 CPC subclasses with 81.8% of grants classified under G01S (Radio DIRECTION-FINDING; Radio NAVIGATION; Determining Distance OR Velocity BY USE OF Radio WAVES; Locating OR Presence-detecting BY USE OF THE Reflection OR Reradiation OF Radio WAVES; Analogous Arra). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (16 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Sonitor sits between Rockwell Automation Asia Pacific Business Center Pte. Ltd. and The 41st Parameter, Inc..

Sonitor's three-year grant acceleration

Sonitor Technologies AS shows 30 grants in 2022–2024 against only 10 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.
