What this shows Hancom's Innovation Score is 30.4/100 (34th 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 Hancom?

Each dot is one of Hancom’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). Hancom’s own 5.7 claims/patent is at or below the 13.2 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Hancom's grants concentrate

Hancom Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 22 CPC subclasses with 29.4% of grants classified under G06F (Electric Digital Data Processing). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (10 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Hancom sits between Greiner Bio-One GmbH and Haselmeier AG.

Hancom's three-year grant acceleration

Hancom Inc. shows 1 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.
