Does more volume mean deeper claims for Hongik?
Each dot is one of Hongik’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). Hongik’s own 11.6 claims/patent is at or below the 12.1 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.
Where Hongik's grants concentrate
Hongik University Industry-academia Cooperation Foundation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 38 CPC subclasses with 40% of grants classified under H01Q (Antennas, i.e. Radio Aerials). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, Hongik sits between Hangzhou Biotest Biotech Co., Ltd. and Hutchison Medipharma Limited.
Hongik's three-year grant acceleration
Hongik University Industry-academia Cooperation Foundation shows 13 grants in 2022–2024 against only 12 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.
