Sanctuary AI identified as global leader in humanoid patents

Evidence notes
- Sanctuary AI said it ranked fourth globally for patent holdings related to general purpose robotics and dexterous robotic hands.
- This belongs in the timeline because it reinforces Sanctuary's positioning around proprietary humanoid and dexterous-manipulation IP rather than just demo progress.
