Changwon National University Industry Academy Cooperation Corps is a focused PatentsView assignee: 25 CPC subclasses with 30% of grants classified under B23K (SOLDERING OR UNSOLDERING; WELDING; CLADDING OR PLATING BY SOLDERING OR WELDING; CUTTING BY APPLYING HEAT LOCALLY, e.g. FLAME CUTTING; WORKING BY LASER BEAM). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Changwon sits between Cellwize Wireless Technologies Ltd. and CHOL, Inc..
Changwon National University Industry Academy Cooperation Corps shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
