What this shows Sudenga's Innovation Score is 28.3/100 (27th 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 Sudenga?

Each dot is one of Sudenga’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). Sudenga’s own 15.0 claims/patent is at or below the 15.6 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Sudenga's grants concentrate

Sudenga Industries, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under B65G (Transport OR Storage Devices, e.g. Conveyors FOR Loading OR Tipping, Shop Conveyor Systems OR Pneumatic Tube Conveyors). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Sudenga sits between Stout Medical Group, L.P. and Surfaces Southeast, LLC.

Sudenga's three-year grant acceleration

Sudenga Industries, Inc. shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
