What this shows Sunoptic's Innovation Score is 28.1/100 (26th 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 Sunoptic?

Each dot is one of Sunoptic’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). Sunoptic’s own 12.1 claims/patent is ABOVE the 11.8 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Sunoptic's grants concentrate

Sunoptic Technologies LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 81.8% of grants classified under A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; Identification). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Sunoptic sits between Subpac, Inc. and Suprapolix B.V..

Sunoptic's three-year grant acceleration

Sunoptic Technologies LLC shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 7 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.
