What this shows Sunstar's Innovation Score is 25.2/100 (17th 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 Sunstar?

Each dot is one of Sunstar’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). Sunstar’s own 5.4 claims/patent is at or below the 16.2 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Sunstar's grants concentrate

Sunstar Americas, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 15.8% of grants classified under A61K (Preparations FOR Medical, Dental OR Toiletry Purposes). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (4 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2017. By volume, Sunstar sits between StratoKey Pty Ltd. and Sysco Guest Supply, LLC.

Sunstar's three-year grant acceleration

Sunstar Americas, Inc. shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 9 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.
