What this shows SUN's Innovation Score is 33.6/100 (45th 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 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 22.3 claims/patent is ABOVE the 13.4 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where SUN's grants concentrate

SUN Pharmaceutical Industries (AUSTRALIA) PTY Ltd is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under C12P (Fermentation OR Enzyme-using Processes TO Synthesise A Desired Chemical Compound OR Composition OR TO Separate Optical Isomers From A Racemic Mixture). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, SUN sits between Sudzucker Aktiengesellschaft MANNHEIM/OCHSENFURT and Sunnylove Baby Products Zhuhai Co., Ltd.

SUN's three-year grant acceleration

SUN Pharmaceutical Industries (AUSTRALIA) PTY Ltd shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
