What this shows Sun's Innovation Score is 40.5/100 (top 35% 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 Sun?

Each dot is one of Sun’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). Sun’s own 16.0 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 Sun's grants concentrate

Sun Nuclear Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 95.7% of grants classified under A61N (ELECTROTHERAPY; MAGNETOTHERAPY; Radiation THERAPY; Ultrasound Therapy). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Sun sits between Sony Depthsensing Solutions SA/NV and Syntiant Corp..

Sun's three-year grant acceleration

Sun Nuclear Corporation shows 7 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.
