What this shows Sorin's Innovation Score is 48.8/100 (top 16% 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 Sorin?

Each dot is one of Sorin’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). Sorin’s own 16.7 claims/patent is at or below the 17.4 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Sorin's grants concentrate

Sorin Group Italia S.r.l. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 22 CPC subclasses with 56.1% of grants classified under A61M (Devices FOR Introducing Media Into, OR Onto, THE Body ; Devices FOR Transducing Body Media OR FOR Taking Media From THE Body ; Devices FOR Producing OR Ending Sleep OR Stupor). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (11 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2021. By volume, Sorin sits between Quantumscape Battery, Inc. and TPK Advanced Solutions Inc..

Sorin's three-year grant acceleration

Sorin Group Italia S.r.l. shows 15 grants in 2022–2024 against only 13 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.
