What this shows Andong's Innovation Score is 49.6/100 (top 14% 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 Andong?

Each dot is one of Andong’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). Andong’s own 5.1 claims/patent is at or below the 14.6 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Andong's grants concentrate

Andong National University Industry-Academic Cooperation Foundation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 23 CPC subclasses with 20% of grants classified under A61K (Preparations FOR Medical, Dental OR Toiletry Purposes). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (7 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2021. By volume, Andong sits between American Nano LLC and Aptar Freyung GmbH.

Andong's three-year grant acceleration

Andong National University Industry-Academic Cooperation Foundation shows 12 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.
