What this shows Incheon's Innovation Score is 36.7/100 (top 46% 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 Incheon?

Each dot is one of Incheon’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). Incheon’s own 16.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 10.7 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Incheon's grants concentrate

Incheon National University Research & Business Foundation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 13 CPC subclasses with 28.6% of grants classified under H01L (Semiconductor Devices NOT Covered BY Class H10). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, Incheon sits between Imra Europe S.A.S. and Indicator Systems International, Inc..

Incheon's three-year grant acceleration

Incheon National University Research & Business Foundation shows 2 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.
