What this shows Sunflow's Innovation Score is 26.4/100 (20th 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 Sunflow?

Each dot is one of Sunflow’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). Sunflow’s own 10.2 claims/patent is at or below the 12.6 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Sunflow's grants concentrate

Sunflow, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 3 CPC subclasses with 45.5% of grants classified under A47C (CHAIRS; SOFAS; Beds). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, Sunflow sits between Strike IP, LLC and Swellfix UK Limited.

Sunflow's three-year grant acceleration

Sunflow, Inc. shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 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.
