What this shows Foundation's Innovation Score is 58.1/100 (top 5% 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 Foundation?

Each dot is one of Foundation’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). Foundation’s own 12.0 claims/patent is at or below the 17.5 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

How Foundation's grant cadence moved

Between 2020–2024, Foundation for Research and Business, Seoul National University of Science and Technology received 39 grants versus 8 in 2015–2019 (+388% equal-window velocity, top decile growth). Across complete PatentsView years, output peaked in 2022 at 10 grants and bottomed in 2015 at 1. Lead class H04N accounts for 21.8% of the portfolio across 51 subclasses. Volume neighbours: Floricultura B.V. (#6,144) and George Mason University (#6,152).

Foundation's three-year grant acceleration

Foundation for Research and Business, Seoul National University of Science and Technology shows 27 grants in 2022–2024 against only 15 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.
